Penelope Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) I would agree with the 'road route' theory. Over the last year I have seen them at the M40/M25 junction and around to the A1. I saw one out near White Roding on Saturday and another in the Lea Valley near Waltham Abbey on Sunday. So well and truly in Essex now. Reasonably sound theory except voles don't eat worms Malc..moles do...Most road verges are too dry to support large populations of earthworms. If you travel up and down the A40, A429, A436, A424 et al however from June/ July onwards after the poults are released there's a dead pheasant every 1/2 a mile. ! Im sure they are using these main routes to spread regionally. I even saw three picking at a badger carcass on the side of the A361 near Shipton 3 winters ago. !
