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
Ian

I would say common shrew Ian, I was trying to see the length of this one’s tail to be sure but it was moving too quick, I’ve seen two species of shrews in my life but only dead, common and pygmy but I’ve never seen a water shrew, I just mention it since I’ve spent a great deal of time around water rivers, lakes, what I would described as wet woodland, and ponds seeing frogs, toads, weasels, stoats, adders, newts, lizards, slowworms, and grass snakes but never a water shrew alive or dead.

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.
