When out checking dormouse boxes today we found somebody different had made their home in one :)
Pygmy shrews are soooooo cute and soooooo teeny
I tried to take his photo, but in a dark box and a moving animal, not much chance. This was the best I could do, but here are links to some better pics and info http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&q=pygmy+shrew

In my pic we are looking down on him and his nose is the pointy bit at the top
You can get a better idea of size (totally tiny) from the photo of one on someone's sleeve in the first link
