Hello can you help

My garden is being decimated by an animal that is digging holes
everywhere

Holes are appearing in the lawn and in the flower beds and veg. plot

Also freshly planted plants are being uprooted and tossed to one side

I am quite sure that cats and dogs are not responsible

My garden is part of open farmland and cannot be fenced

There are magpies, crows ,doves, foxes, badgers, even rats in the area

TIA .........................Leslie



When you say "holes", can you be a little more specific?


The size of holes that the pest is leaving

These are up to 4" deep and can spread from 2" to 5" deep with the soil
dragged to one side the hole is definately dug from the top

Top posting adjusted

The description suggest's you may have Badgers visiting you, I hope you
don't encounter two fighting in the early hours as the noise will be
frightening.
DRiving across a local common recently at night had to slow and stop while a
Badger ran back and for across the road looking for a route off the road,
followed at a safe distance for about quarter of a mile before it lumbered
up a bank on the side.
