Hi

I just found a 1-1.5 inch diameter hole in the soil of the back border
close to where the creature I saw the other day disappeared - it must
have been down this hole because it's a recent thing, it wasn't there a
week or so ago AFAIK.

Is this a rat living here? I didn't know rats lived in holes in the
earth? It was a palish brown/beige colour and looked that kind of size,
couldn't see much detail it was gone too fast, and I didn't see the
length of its tail although it was a proper tail and not a stubby one, I
think, but I couldn't see if it was pink or furry.
