Nottinghamshire: 'Knackered' mole battles in flood water

A wildlife charity has shared footage of a "knackered" mole swimming in flood water.

The small mammal was spotted at Attenborough Nature Reserve on Thursday.

Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust said the mole was "OK" and made its own way to dry land.

In a post on Facebook, the charity said: "[It is] amazing to see such resilience in a rarely seen species and brings hope that wildlife can survive and adapt to these events that are ever increasing in the face of climate change."
