Rodent investigating one of the patches of short grass in Bantock Park. But what is it? Much too large for any mouse (or vole or shrew). Ears too big, and snout too pointed for a brown rat. That is (after squirrels) the rodent most likely to be spotted in the open in daylight around town.
Could it possibly be a black rat? They are supposed to be seen occasionally in Britain, but mainly around ports – all of which are a long way from Wolverhampton.
