Water Shrews - the UK's only mammal with a venomous bite. The poison in its saliva is strong enough to immobilise small fish, frogs & newts. They had a good summer at the #Weedypond despite the long drought - their frenetic activity continually triggers the camera at night. #mammals
#SciArtSeptember 10: Woad Convergent evolution can produce similar body shapes from different starting points, when animals adapt to the same ways of life independently. These are four iterations of otter: a true otter, rakali or water rat, otter civet, and giant otter shrew, related to tenrecs.
What a find! Our Reserve Warden Clare found a water shrew during a torching survey at Hampton Nature Reserve.
The autumn rains are slowly refilling the #weedypond. It's been dry for weeks now but the Wrens & Greenfinches are back visiting it again and I even saw a Water Shrew earlier. Hoping that normal service will be resumed for the arrival of the winter thrushes - they are keen bathers. #wrens
Budgerigar cools off with a refreshing dip in the Bywater Pool. After a hard day of shooing shrews and kicking cave-claws for the good people of Staddle, she feels ready for whatever madness may come next. "I just hope no one steals my clothes!" she laughs to herself. "I love my new cloak!"
Highlights at Upton Warren’s Moors this morning: Hobby, Green & Common Sandpiper, Lapwing, Ringed Plover, Green Woodpecker, Kingfisher, Common Tern, Water Rail, Fox & dead Shrew but no Spotted Crake today; glad I saw it yesterday @worcswt.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social @rspb.bsky.social
Whoop - thanks to the booksellers running the #sciencefiction section of @waterstones.bsky.social in Piccadilly for showcasing our rediscovered dystopian classic - Woman Alive by Susan Ertz. Have you read it yet? The @thetls.bsky.social has called it “psychologically shrewd” #booksky

The Water Baron makes three. Lord of Water and proprietor of a giant floating casino. The Will of the Water Baron gives him incredible calculative abilities, allowing him to anticipate events so effectively that he can nearly predict the future. Brilliant, beautiful, shrewd, not to be trusted.
Well this is a better option for little ones lunchtime nap than a supermarket car park or a traffic jam on a lovely Autumn day 🍂 I’ve even got helpful sleepy water sounds from the #Dingle #Quarry #Shrewsbury #CargoBike
