Still Washing Stuffies...

[bk_forever]

So, I've been washing more stuffies - big surprise there - so here are some more pics showing stuffies and behind the first one you can see what I've been doing in the garden. Compare it to the last lot of pics for the 'before' shot. ;)

The last picture is of some mysterious holes I found under the ivy I was clearing. I have no idea whose holes they are. The biggest one is about 3.5 inches across, goes down about 5 inches then heads left. Not sure of the hole is in use, but the smaller one wasn't there the day before... o.O

Ah, but this is an English back garden and the only body of water is a small garden pond so I think crayfish are rather unlikely ;)

The ground is hard and dry because the holes are in a raised banking and we've had hot weather and very little rain for the last three weeks.

The mystery continues, I think I've found another small hole and on of the neighbours cats was showing some interest. I'll just continue clearing ivy, brambles, and other undergrowth and see what else I find. I'll keep posting pictures as I take them.

I Googled it, and most of the usual suspects for a English back garden are various species of small rodents.

I'm currently leaning towards the idea of wood mice since I know we have them in the garden, I'd just never thought of them burrowing in the garden itself. Usually they favour the compost heap, the greenhouses, or under the shed. On the other hand, it's so long since the undergrowth has been cleared I can hardly blame them for taking advantage of the shelter.
