A baby Shrew.
The common shrew is very widespread, the second most numerous British mammal. Living at densities of up to 50 per hectare in many woodlands and often over 20 per hectare in grasslands and other habitats, the most recent estimate puts the number of shrews in Britain at 41,700,000

A good capture and a very interesting explanation. 41 million!!!! Anyway, shrews don't have the bad reputation of other rodents. Best wishes, Anton.

You did well to spot this tiny little creature TOZ and even better to get t his super photo. The detail and sharpness is spot on..!!I

It's amazing that there are 41,700,000 shrews in Britain and I've never seen one in the wild :-)))

These little mammal are just so cute. We had one once in our back garden and when I discovered it, I thought it was dead so tried to pick it up -it bit me ! No harm done and no blood. A lovely capture here in good detail as Keith says too. Almost 42 million -wow we just don't know what surrounds us.

Cheers. Herb
