Last week it stopped digging up my garden but this morning it's turned up in the GH !

A rat would make that mess, but moles are after worms and that table looks higher than the surrounding soil.

Ha ha Esther. ;D I did not want to be so impolite. Moles need a tunnel of which there is no evidence and the soil is not fine enough actually. I wonder if Merlin dropped a pot of compost.

It wasn't there yesterday so today I removed the hardboard that I was drying out my onions on and found a 2' tunnel....empty.
