Is This A Shrew?

Ian I've watched them all and I'm still not sure either... I did find this on a US wildlife site that shows size comparisons between moles, mice, voles and shrews. I'm thinking what your trailcam saw was a shrew, because it's snout is more pointy than a vole.

Here's a link to it:

Many thanks.

Of the shrews (which I was uncertain about) I think it would be a Common shrew based on it's size - given that I'm more familiar with my trail-cam setup for close focus (a bit "Heath Robinson") and which lenses have what focus range and what sizes things appear. But I'm not being 100% on that.

Again, thanks

I've setup the camera in the same'ish place but with a closer focus so see if I can get any better pictures. Trouble is that the hedgerow seems to have loads of wood mice so each day I have to spend an age going through loads of video seeing mice and deleting (as I have loads of video of mice now) but you have to scan the entire clip as occasionally something different pops in to frame. So it's the less common creatures (or less common in my hedgerow) like shrews and voles that I enjoy seeing.
