Your links not working mate.

maybe the mole was dropped off by a cat or

 

there is a very old mole run, deeper than the plough could ever go, that used to run under fields hundreds of years ago, in the days when fields were quite small.

These fields have long gone, roads been built, but the old mole runs still exist deep down.

 

Could be an answer to how the mole gets to an area when there is no evidence around

This should be interesting

I would not hold your breath, I remembered you telling me how moles came to be on an island in a dual carriageway, I did not know they could travel overland. But this may be giving away a little too much.

They do get to the strangest of places. I had one on a lump of land I shoot over.

4K acre of steep fell and moorland. Locked in at the foothill by a canal and river ( flood basin inbetween). Various moorland streams cutting their way down the fell on all sides.

The old boy had never had a mole in the 65 years he owned the farm and never had one since.

My only thought is it hitched a ride?

Hope you left that one, Moxy ? lol

Unfortunately not lol.

I gave it a copy of the 2005 AA road atlas I had in my motor and sent it on its way.

Some moles make their hills to the left of their runs, and some to the right. They favour either one side or the other IMO.

 

Moles get into 'enclosed' places as they use runs that have existed there before the building was built. I once did a job in the middle of a town, a postage stamp garden. Totally enclosed, but I caught three moles. Now they weren't all dropped by cats now were they?

 

Only my opinion though....

Now, I can help you there Mr. Darcy. In England the moles always put their molehills to the left of the tunnels. Therefore you will see them on the left going up, and on the right coming back.

 

In France they drive on the other side so it is the reverse.

I was putting a drain in once crossing a very old dyke line and their about 4 ft down was a lovely clean polished like a clay pot pipe mole run! I spent 20 mins debateing weather to put a man hole in for trapping and moved on but It shows their their..deep down
