The cats have spent the last 3 days mesmerised by the soil underneath the hedge. They would sniff it, dig with two paws even get their shoulders deep into the soil. On a closer look we could sometimes see the earth moving – it had to be a mole!
At last yesterday, Mimi managed to extract it from the ground. It was quite a large mole. Bruno, not the gentleman, managed to snatch it from her. I don’t like seeing cats playing with their prey, so we thought we could catch it and transfer it to the field opposite.
By the time Richard had got a spade to pick it up and a bucket to put the mole in, it had begun to dig into the ground.
Richard tried to dig into the ground to stop it getting away but to no avail.
How can a mole, no bigger than the size of a hand, manage to burrow into the soil when it is too hard to get a spade in?
Incroyable!
