Holy Moly

 When I was walking the dog over Robertstown north last week I found this dead Mole and I was amazed how big the front feet were, they were like to bullnose shovels. The only downside was there were no Sexton Beetles on its body. Also over the field was my first Leucozona Glaucia Hoverfly and always great to see these colourful Hoverflies. Also of note I see Mark had Alder Tongue fungus in Cwmdare yesterday and when I checked an Alder I had walked passed hundreds of times this morning I found it staight away. Maybe because it's just coming out it's lighter and easier too find.

  1. Quite a few of the Alder Tongue I as were green, making them difficult to spot.
    About a week ago, I had to get up at two in the bloody morning, to rescue a mole from the cat. I had to dress and take it out, up the lane and release it as far from my garden as possible. If you handle a live mole, beware, because they are incredibly strong and those shovels can really hurt.
