Many thanks Daryl, really helpful
On that basis I'm happy to call it Rattus rattus. I
suspect Roy the dog could have removed a fair piece of the tail, the end of what
was left wasn't very tapered. I'm interested by the median sizes you give, most
R.rattus I have seen here, usually in the grape vine or fig tree, have looked a
fair bit smaller, presumably immatures. Maybe the older ones are cagier and
better able to keep out of sight.
And extra thanks for not asking me to retrieve the
body.
cheers
Steve
