Sam discovered the best way to photograph the mice inhabiting London’s Underground was to lie on the platform and wait.
He only saw them fight over scraps of food dropped by passengers a few times, possibly because it is so abundant. This fight lasted a split second, before one grabbed a crumb and they went their separate ways.
