So corrected. It is surprising how many GPS readings are 'transferred' to the nearest building / house / structure from the actual location.

Hi Frecko, thanks for your sighting. It looks like the location information you provided is incorrect. This can occur if the GPS sensor in your device was having a bad day. Please review and update the location of this record when you get a chance.

Thank you. These images are still shots from a 20 second video from a wildlife camera. I don’t think this is a black rat, as I’ve never seen a black rat move like this - this one literally hopped vertically, at least five times its body height each time it bounced. I’ve seen black rats bound, but their movement is more of a horizontal bound than a vertical hop? Happy to send the video if you’d like?

Hi @LisaH If this is the only image, we better go with unidentified small mammal, as it could also be e.g. a juv black rat. Black (Roof) Rats are also very agile.
