Champion Cymru!
The 'Gors Bach' hosts a bunch of Kiwi shearers every year, and the publican is a mad keen NZ fan. He has All Blacks posters and shearer's singlets from out-of-the way spots like Akitio and Pongaroa on the walls. The beer is brewed in London and is pretty popular with the farmers that crowd in on the weekends. The photo above shows Andy Short (Akl) with a pint, the day we watched NZ beat Ireland in the cricket. (The Welsh have barely noticed there's a World Cup on)
Kate is working 4/5 days a week, serving it up to the retired couples and family groups that come to the Sea Zoo. British kids love crisps and slush puppies.
What are these?? The first person to tell us will receive a large piece of Llanberis slate via surface mail (or another more suitable prize perhaps) . Competition not open to anyone born in the UK!
Congrats to Andrew Weir for guessing they were shrews. His girls will get some Welsh Rock soon. See Comments for some funny guesses

No, sorry you are both wrong.
voles. dead voles.
Neither moles nor voles!
These little beasties were killed by Richard and Kez's cat. Have also been 'domesticated' at some point in the past.
Shrews of the family Soricidae, not to be confused with treeshrews, which belong to their own unrelated order. Only New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand do not have native shrews at all. Unlike most mammals, some species of shrew are venomous. Shrews hold nearly 10% of their mass in their brain, a relatively high brain to body mass ratio. In the English language, the word shrew is also used to describe a woman with a violent, scolding, or nagging temperament. [Just a few interesting facts about Shrews from Wikipedia].
WINNER!
(I think you have an overly high brain to body mass ratio too, Mr Weir)
We will send you your own piece of Snowdonia soon!
Hey guys, are they baby platypus? Yvonne NZ
OOps! guess i should read the rest of the comments next time! DOH. Yvonne
Did you tame them??
'The Taming of the Shrew' is a Shakespeare play? That was our cunning clue. Thanks to everyone who had a go.
I think those ones are specifically Elephant Shrew. Am I right?
