My knowledge of moles is mainly derived from reading Kenneth Grahame so I'm unlikely to be able to shed light on the reason for this one's death. But it seems odd to find him lying unmarked and apparently in good condition on the path. He is one of the largest moles I've seen. Why does a mole come above ground anyway?
Blacka's mammals range from the tiny voles and shrews sometimes seen, to Britain's largest, the red deer, and include foxes, badgers and hares. Yet with the current crop of conservationists it's the birds that get most of the attention.
