After the re-appearance this year of the burrow in my garden, I did see a couple of babies emerging about a week ago. This is despite the local scavenging cat having a leg down the hole trying to get at them
I think the babies have now moved on as Mum and Dad have returned today. I caught Mum going down the hole with mouthfuls of grass and Dad was trying to get his wicked way I suspect some more babies are on the cards. If I had been quicker I could have got a picture of Dad sat in a flower pot. I do watch them with the binoculars tho as I am a tad concerned about mxyi. Unfortunately we are not able to rabbit proof the garden.
Mum has burrowed right under my Acer which I only planted last year - I wonder if there are any roots left to it or not!
