A mouse was secretly filmed cleaning up a man's shed every night for two months. Wildlife photographer Rodney Holbrook noticed that the objects he left scattered on his work bench were being mysteriously put back where they belonged overnight. 

After this, Holbrook set up a night vision camera on his workbench to see what was happening. What came as a surprise for him was that it was not a human or a ghost cleaning things for him but a mouse, who secretly organised things for the man. 

Holbrook told BBC, "It has been going on for months. I call him Welsh Tidy Mouse. At first, I noticed that some food that I was putting out for the birds was ending up in some old shoes I was storing in the shed, so I set up a camera.”

He also stated that he couldn't believe it when he saw that the mouse was tidying up. Holbrook said, "He moved all sorts of things into the box, bits of plastic, nuts and bolts. I don’t bother to tidy up now, as I know he will see to it. I leave things out of the box and they put it back in its place by the morning. Ninety-nine times out of 100 the mouse will tidy up throughout the night."
