Moley moley

So we had a second mole-sighting this week, late one evening. Either it was the same mole as last time, and it has decided to move in behind our shed rather than go to the trouble of digging a nice snug tunnel, or it was another mole with disturbingly similar behavioural trends.

If the first scenario is true then we have a very disturbed animal on the loose in our back garden. This unnatural beast no longer is attracted to its usual subterranean habitat, but prefers to live the good life above ground. Where will it end? Are our children safe from this corruption to the natural order? Will moles start demanding equal rights with shrews and voles? Is a new kind of animal emerging - some kind of above-ground omnivore capable of withstanding the light of day (would that mean moles are turning into armadillos or something?)...

The second sceanrio is even more troubling. A whole army of unnatural omnivorous mammals poised to over-run the world, crunching of woodlice in full daylight and demonstrating a casual disregard for shed permimeters.

Others have suggested that they are two moles from the same nest, but I prefer to remain on the alert. They are more likely Sappers in the War on Terror. When they reveal their true purpose I shall be ready!
