Welcome to MoleWatch
Thank you for visiting our website and taking part in our MoleWatch survey. The more people who let us know whether or not they have molehills in their gardens, fields and local parks, the better picture we will be able to build of where moles are still found throughout our countryside.

This is my first visit and I would like to record a sighting
