Image series is in chronological order, with the 1st image (very poor quality) showing the rat beginning to exit its Seaberry Saltbush run ,while the final image shows it fully exposed and eating something on the gravel and leaf litter mixture. (FWIW there's a small heap of raked leaves and twigs etc just behind it on the gravel, but the rat had already marked out that particular 'run' or trail within the shrubbery before I did the raking).
