More than 150 harvest mice reintroduced to Perivale Wood, last seen in 1979, part of a project by Ealing Wildlife Group to restore populations declined by 70% in the UK.
Perivale Wood's meadows set aside to create wildlife corridors for mice, with un-grazed grass for nesting material, new ponds for additional reed bed areas.
Harvest mice bred in captivity by volunteers, reintroduction efforts praised by Richard Goddard of Selborne Society, celebrating National Mammal Week.
Recent rewilding efforts in Ealing include reintroduction of beavers in Greenford, marking the first urban sighting of beavers in London in 400 years.
