Dead Shrew on New Heath

Last Thursday, I was up at Old Lodge walking around, and I happened to see a small dead shrew.  Small but maybe not a pygmy shrew.

It is probably only the third small mammal that I have ever seen on the reserve.  The others were a tree mouse ( 5 stem chestnut) and a pygmy shrew in the tractor shed ( having a confrontation with an adder).

No idea what case of death was.  No obvious damage.
