I'm sure it will be appreciated; have never seen a mole, let alone take a picture of one. How did you manage it? It is a fabulous shot, I love it. :toast: :toast:

I hope it died of natural causes, a surfeit of earthworms perhaps? I'd love to see a live one again, the last time was over fifty years ago, one of my uncles was a mole catcher amongst other things.

An ex mole as I live and breath (more than the Moles doing). Nice one Mark :biggrin:

Good to see a diversity here Mark, however, were you in the full 'Ghillie' suit for this one? :jump: At least you didn't frighten any 'old dears' on this one I guess. :wavey:
