Finally caught a mole that had been wrecking the raised beds in my vegetable patch. So I suffed him in my compost heap together with some baby rabbits, a 3 ft grass snake (strangled itself in some netting)and then the other day I found (or smelt ) a dead rat that had crawled on top of the pile to die.

They all act as accelerators to the pile of composted chainsaw dust, hedge cuttings, grass cuttings etc.

Now Ive got rat, mole, rabbit & snake, I think that I might just go for the full set, say mouse, squirrel, badger & any other roadkill I spot !

Over the last couple of weeks I have seen 7 or 8 dead moles, 2 of which were still alive on my yard road, they were in a bad way so I finished them off.

 

I presume its dew to the drought, we are on bed rock, so the soil is very shallow, I guess all the worms are either dead or deep in cracks in the rock. I imagine moles get most of their water from the worms they eat, so are dehydrating.

 

Has anyone else noticed this??

 

You could be on to something here. I found this in my bottom field last night.

 

 

That mole looks like it's been molested!? chortle chortle ! :laugh1:
