I found this recently dead Common Shrew this morning beside a footpath and put it in a life-like pose… in life they are too quick to photograph. Shrews are often found like this and it is a good means of identifying our 3 species - Common, Pigmy and Water (please let us know if you find a Water Shrew). Click here for more information.
