LINK: a Desman with a barrow in the marketplace

The BBC's Rebecca Morelle joined scientist Dr Yolanda Melero on the trail of the Pyrenean desman

It's the dead of night.

And while the rest of the world sleeps, a team of scientists is wading knee-deep through the fast-flowing streams that cut through the Pyrenees.

I've joined them on the trail of a creature that few have heard of and even less have set eyes on: the Pyrenean desman (Galemys pyrenaicus).
