Rain brings relief for Sussex's moles after heatwave
Happy to see the return of the rain are moles in Sussex, which have been suffering severely in the prolonged heatwave, according to the Sussex Wildlife Trust.
Charlotte Owen, WildCall Officer at the conservation charity, said she had seen more moles than ever before this summer – but sadly, all of them were dead.
She blamed the heatwave which has seen the ground ‘baked solide and becoming impenetrable’ over the last few weeks, forcing moles to dig ever-deeper tunnels to catch their prey.
