• These may be old photographs (1985), but they show this Common Shrew in extraordinary close-up for a mammal in the wild, the tiny creature being literally inches from a 50mm lens with extension rings attached. This was very much a one-off and the photographer has never again managed to get anywhere near another member of this elusive and peripatetic species. Another photograph is shown on Mammals 1.
