During the night something attacked my lawn digging 6 or so areas. Most
of these areas were quite small, mere scraping but the worse on cover
about a square yard. Nothing deep but the turf remove and scattered

have been plagued by rabbits. Any idea as to what it might be, and the
best way to repair th affected areas?


I would have thought it might be badgers? If it's very dry maybe they
are having to dig down for worms?

or rats and other vermin.

A square yard? Rats? Overnight? I'd go more with badgers.
