Looked up about mice today, and found a little bit of interesting facts. This is about the wood mouse, or if you prefer field mouse. Never knew they were the same species. Anyway the paragraph below has a little information that I got from the Woodland Trust.

A less uniform mouse with a sandy brown fur and a white to grey belly.
A cautious mouse which always sniffs anything unfamiliar before approaching.
Its back feet are large which give it a good spring for leaping.
Its tail is roughly the same length as its head and body.
It stores berries and seeds in the autumn in underground burrows or sometimes in old birds’ nests.
It thrives in woodland, rough grassland and gardens.
This species of mouse does not have a very strong smell.
