Seems every field I go by has tonnes of molehills everywhere recently . Is there any reason for this? Just interested

Coming up to matting season.

Your about 2 months away yet..... the winter frosts break down the soil and this fills the existing runs so they need a good clean out. Also if its dry the worms go deeper so the moles either have to dig a little deeper or extend their feeding runs.

I did say coming up. I can count in number of frost up here in the Northeast on one hand. We don't get the winter we use to, spring is getting early and I have heard from other mole catcher that they are coming across young moles early and early year on year

Aye, they have too work harder, generally, in the winter, for their grub,.....this often means, more molehills !
