I was strimming the Southampton Bike Park and one jump had all these holes in it. The entrance is about the size of a ping pong ball. My first thought was mice but do they live in colonies?

The jump

Some close ups of the entrances.

The pics were taken after I had strimmered the vegetation away so not much left in the way of foot prints. If it had been a canal bank I would have said Sand Martins as there didn’t appear to be paths in or out of them but the strimming might have destroyed the evidence.

Any Thoughts?

Wasps?

Voles. Just like the little b*****ds in my lawn.

Sand Martins?

Too big for wasps.

Voles are possible as are sand martins but the birds are less likely.

Anyone know what they are talking about ?

Does the Pope shit in the woods?

rabbits?

Hmm on second thoughts, probably too small for rabbits.

Rats

Meerkats

Swarm of moles?

Minions?

Baby robins.

unexploded mortar shells

Snakes. Definitely snakes.

Too big for wasps.

Nonsense.

Rats

Is it dampish?

Geoducks like moist environments…

Perhaps giant earthworms, but AFAIK, you only find them down south:

Quite cuddly it seems:

Apparently there’s all kinds of big stuff going on underground

Rats? similar holes in the planters near our bins until they were exterminated and the residents reeducated on feeding the fing birds.

Surely worth mugging a GoPro off one of the riders and setting it up overnight?

Rats.

Call the police they’ll look into them.

pretty sure that’s a Flocking of Polar Bears.

Holar bears?
