Any ideas what has caused the damage to the lawn below ?

over night...


thinking about it... I guess this is something like a badger digging for grubs?? Covers quite a bit of lawn and varying sizes, some up to a fist in size.

Squirrels, at a guess.

The message

from niavasha contains these words:

Animal digging for worms. Fox or badger could be the culprit.

Mind you, the clods look a bit big.....might be pirates...

Regards,

You didn't notice a small herd of wilderbeasts by any chance?

In my last house, which was suburban London, it was foxes - it got so bad we lost a 30 foot patch - almost totaly stripped. I ended up putting an electric fence round the lawn for a few weeks and solved the problem.

Electric fence now very useful containing the weaners I'll be fattening now wer'e out in the country !!!!

AWEM

or even vildebeeste

guess the latter is Afrikaans ?

Badgers, and almost impossible to keep out of the garden Chainlink fencing works, with the bottom 30cm turned outwards and buried Feeding the buggers also works apparently, but you have to stuff them full every night so they can't be assed to dig for worms.

German wilderbeasts? Unlikely in Engerland.

If not a moose ......................................... FORE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Devilishly cunning, these German vildebeeste. Probably came over by parachute dressed as nuns.

Wondering if the OP woke up with a sore arse, maybe it was aliens and he's been anally probed??

No, Afrikaans Vildebeeste.

Not seen outside Africa. Except in Zoos.
