Being of a curious (some might say nosey) disposition, we felt that after a suitable time had elapsed we should go and investigate.
What we found was quite a sizeable area of 'holes' with mounds of earth at their openings. The majority of the holes had been kicked in and roughly filled with earth and sticks. The holes were far too big to be a rabbit warren...
We also found this empty cartridge...
We are not clear whether this is a fox den or a badger sett. There was little evidence of footprints, other than those of the men who had been earlier. Nor were there any droppings or strands of hair to help us...
The only real 'clue' was the feeding stations nearby which may suggest someone was trying to protect their own quarry....
Any thoughts on the matter, please??
