New Species - Pygmy Shrew

I often require a dead small mammal to confirm ID and a dead Pygmy Shrew turned up in the garden today. It is identified by size, tail length relative to body, hairs on tail and colour of fur and teeth so I am able to be confident of the ID. I took photos but they turned out fuzzy so I won't include one.
