EDITORS COMMENTS
Discover the enchanting moment of a European Mole (Talpa europaea) emerging from its molehill in the lush lawn of the Bay of Somme, Picardie, France. This image, taken by wildlife photographer M. Watson, showcases the intriguing world of these elusive mammals. Moles are insectivores, feeding primarily on earthworms, insects, and other invertebrates that they locate using their highly sensitive paws. As spring arrives, moles begin to emerge from their underground burrows to mate and build new nests. The molehill, a conical mound of soil, is a telltale sign of their presence. Despite their reputation as garden pests, moles play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aerating the soil and controlling insect populations. This stunning photograph is a testament to the beauty and importance of these often overlooked creatures.
