birdsallpl Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Where is the excavated earth? If there isn't any, it hasn't been dug by man or beast. Therefore has to be subsidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malantone Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Where is the excavated earth? If there isn't any, it hasn't been dug by man or beast. Therefore has to be subsidence. My guess is a land drain has collapsed, you should go to the farmer and tell him ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Does it just go straight down or does it angle away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckman91 Posted July 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Does it just go straight down or does it angle away? it angles away. I think malantone could be right as a few have said there's no earth that's been dug out around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 That's a Hobbit hole that is ! Seriously it looks like its not in use much, to identify the culprit look close and careful for hair in the walls of the tunnel Badger or fox the difference is obvious (your only looking for one or two), is bedding pulled out to air ever is there often fresh scrapings of earth as (badgers do this foxes don't), no bits of birds etc about and more likely its badger as foxes are untidy. Badgers are a member of the weasel family has five toes and a wider print foxes have four and are slim like a small dog any prints about? Last but not least have a sniff foxes have a certain odour once you know it. Never discount an earth or set that looks abandoned, foxes in particular move about between homes and Badgers often move in were they were not the week before due to expanding populations. This one however does look empty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
