Read MoreMOLES – A QUICK RECONNAISSANCE.
The weather on New Year’s day was a little miserable so a short drive through the countryside was undertaken to bring in the New year and see just how the weather has effected the local area. The past rain has certainly saturated the ground and large areas of water were still visible in the fields along the Stour valley and many molehills were observed along Magna road between Bear Cross and Merley. A quick stretch on the A31 revealed more mole activity, not only in the fields, but also in the roadside verges, a safe refuge for moles! The next part of the journey took us from Wimborne...

Due to the cold and wet conditions that we have experienced, many gardens are suffering from mole invasions for the first time ever and becoming victims of the damage that moles can do. It is important to act quickly if moles...

We have all seen the abundant molehills in fields and on grass verges as we travel locally, especially around Christchurch and Hurn, but what exactly is going on underneath that can cause so much damage to lawns, golf courses, agriculture, playing fields, parks, cemeteries, etc? The culprit is of course the Mole. A furry creature, up to 16cm long and normally black in colour, although white albino ones are seen occasionally. They have large spade like- front feet for digging and have very small eyes but no ears. They are found throughout mainland Britain but not in Ireland. Moles are...
