Shrew
One of the cats spent all night (apparently) staring at a couple of our still packed boxes. It wasn't too much of a surprise then to find a dead shrew nearby this evening - bit of a relief as the last thing cats brought in was a rather large Brown Rat, dead fortunately. Looks like a Pygmy Shrew to me, presume they're supposed to occur here.
Just checked, Pygmy is the shrew that occurs here, that makes id easier.

An old bloke I once knew who live din the Cheviot hills had Pygmy Shrews in his bedroom! Used catch them in mouse trap....
Wouldn't fancy them nibbling the toes at night. Would guess there was a fair amount of other wildlife in the bedroom if the shrews managed to survive in there.
