Thanks to all who replied, it was cut off Charlie, no rot. *Edward and
I both saw quite a sweet creature yesterday, it looked like a mouse but
had a pointed nose, Edward seems to think this is a vole?


If very pointed, and a small creature, then it's a shrew. Voles tend to
have rather rounded noses


So it was a shrew, I looked up a picture, it is exactly the same,
thanks Kay. Could it be nipping my plants underground?

I don't know anything about shrews, but I rather thought they were
carnivores. Sharp toothed vicious little creatures. Not that I hold it
against them. You have to be tough if you're that size.
