Don, It's a Dung Beetle or Dor Beetle - Geotrupes stercorarius
Eats its own weight in dung every day!
Incidentally, I was shooting fungi with an off-camera strobe shot through an umbrella on a stand. I knew I was going to be in a dark wood and I wanted a nice even light somewhat behind the fungi to simulate the lovely winter light that catches the edge of mushrooms
I moved it round to a more normal position for the beetle.
Didn't have much success with the mushrooms
