Holes in flower bed
Hi
Spent the morning clearing a flower bed that was pretty much covered by weeds and I've unearthed two small holes which are presumably burrowa of some sort. They are about an inch in diameter and 3 feet apart, I've not disturbed them so have no idea how deep or whether they are connected. Any ideas as to what might of made them and if it is still likely to be living there ? I did have moles digging up my lawn 2 years ago is the messy sod back Thanks Jim -- Remove BRAIN before replying |

Yes, mole tunnels are usually a bit bigger than 1 inch diameter. But there are a whole range of voles and shrews that then have to be considered. Now, if you had a dropping, or a few hairs from behind the left ear, we might be able to be a bit more specific. ;-) -- ned |

Voles are most likely and they do some damage in gardens but just tackle the problems as they occur if they're serious enough. Rod |
