jackg 7 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I have noticed quite a few old mole holes becoming more obvious recently and there are no moles anywhere near them. This is in an orchard. So I wondered if rates took over the old runs and lived in them as they would have access to the whole of the run and it would give them good cover? I can see the line of run on the grass where the run has caused the soil to slip a little to outline clearly the runs. Quote Link to post

Judging by the size of some of the ones I see around it would be a tight squeeze. Field voles perhaps ? Quote Link to post
