Life On The Journey

The Fieldmice, often known simple as the Mice in the TV series, are most noted for the birth and death of their three babies, while Fox was absent from the group after crossing the river. Following the "happy event", the Fieldmice decided to remain behind, believing the journey would be too difficult now they had babies. The Voles

become separated from the group and are nearly killed by a lawn mower. Kestrel finds them, but it is Adder who encourages them to move.

White Deer Park

Mrs. Fieldmouse was killed by Kestrel shortly after their arrival in the park and it was partly this action that prompted the animals to establish an area for themselves, where they would be safe and known to each other. Mr Fieldmouse is seen later with the Voles, both choosing a nest location and eating the hay brought by the White Stag. In the latter scene, two field mice are shown, but it is unclear whether this means Mr Fieldmouse has found another mate. He is alone when seen later with the Voles, who he seems to live with in White Deer Park. These three rodents are wary of the Foxes during the harsh winter. At this point, Mr Fieldmouse expresses his belief that Kestrel's killing of his wife was no accident. Mr Fieldmouse is the first to accuse Fox of eating Mother Vole and he accompanies Vole when the latter goes to challenge Fox. Mr Fieldmouse is also present in welcoming Badger back from the Warden's house. He last appears celebrating Fox's triumph over the poachers. He perishes over the winter.
