wooden compost bins

Just seen a small grey rodent about 3cm with a 5cm stiff tail. It sort of hops rather than runs. Any ideas?

"We live in an urban environment and have a garden approx 40 x 75 ft with mature shrubs and trees surrounding a central grass area of approx 12 x 24 ft. To one side we have a small vegetable garden with a fairly large compost bin. Against the back wall we have a wood pile that has not been disturbed for many months. We also have a couple of wooden sheds with air space underneath and rough walkways at the rear.
From the way this wee beastie was moving I am of the impression that it is a seed eater. It’s forelimbs were tiny and held like hands.
Our neighbours’ gardens are not dissimilar in size and content, however, ours is more overgrown and densly planted.
Can anyone shed some light onto what sort of rodent this might be? All suggestions greatly accepted.
Yours
Tony.

Sounds like a rabbit or squirrel
