Hands on

I was called by my dad to come out to the small lane by our house with my camera as he had found something so beautiful. A mole, lost, disorientated, he had obviously come up from underground at the wrong place & wondered why there was a hard surface instead... they're entirely blind & smell & feel alone. Dad picked him up & we took him back to our garden & I managed to get this photo as he was popping out of my dad's gloves... such a strong little beast, certainly a gentleman in a velvet jacket. I placed him in a cardboard box to check if he was ok, even went & dug up some earth worms, he loved those, to watch a mole slurp a worm, crunch, sneeze & then squeak is literally the cutest thing - ever! I was bursting for the bathroom, so I left him with box lid closed for literally a minute, when I came back, he had escaped... so he was perfectly ok & it was 'Mole on the run'... but I tell you, that was one of the happiest hours I spent in the company of such a rarity, a mole, hands up who's seen a mole in real life? Very few!!! :)

And a robin in real life? Ok, LOADS lol
