As some of you may know I had a wall collapse, which is now being rebuilt by a Dykers. They have had to dig the ground back in order to lay base stones - they reckon I have been putting out too many peanuts, as there are large holes in the earth packed solid with rotting peanuts all congealed. They estimate there must be at least 2 kilos of nuts! There dog is having a lovely time vole hunting.
So I obviously knew the cashed nuts etc., but not in such large holes. Also another puzzle - when Moles dig there tunnels they leave a big pile of earth, so how come Bank Voles don't do the same? The only evidence of them is a neat hole in the ground or grass. They obviously do a lot of earth moving and make very big holes underground. You can see some of the sizes of the holes to left of Dyker's shoulder. P.S. Not he has not got his flies undone he is wearing waterproof over trousers:)
