Pygmy Shrew
Deerness, Orkney - Spotted by my partner, this incredibly small creature, those are clover leaves of an ordinary size in the pictures, wasn't bothered by us at all. It ran around a mown area of grass frantically searching for insects to crunch. It stayed for about 5 minutes. It may appear that it posed nicely - far from it. Most of my pictures are like the one below, a tail and backside disappearing into the clover.
