The ending of the shrew


I have a new waterside trail camera position, taking advantage of a newly fallen branch, the only drawback being that I now need waders to reach the camera.  Having cameras watching the water's edge occasionally throws up a real surprise, as with this one.  I haven't had good video of a heron before, mainly because they are so close to the cameras that they don't fit in the frame.

There has been a lot of water shrew activity here in the past few weeks and a heron caught one last week.  This time the new camera position gave a much better view.  Notice a second shrew on the bank to the right which sensibly beat a hasty retreat when it saw what had happened.
