Wood Mouse?

I saw this little fella scurry through the leaf litter and into a hole in some exposed roots on the bank. I could make him out too well, though I think it's a Wood Mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), Yellow Neck Mouse (Apodemus flavicollis) both common small rodents who share a common habitat range. Although I understand both mice are nocturnal by nature, so who knows. It was just nice to see. The mouse didn't disappear into the hole immediately, it turned and surveyed us for some time, enough for time for me to deftly swing my camera around a get a couple of, admittedly, quick shots, before disappearing.
