Several years ago, thanks to a grant obtained from the British Council, I spent a fortnight in Oxford at the Bureau of Animal Population. During this stay, I was able to trap some small mammals in a wood near Oxford. Among these mammals were several water shrews, Neomys fodiens Schr., which were brought to Belgium to be put in the collection of the State Entomological Research Station.
