Caught in the Act - Mole's Gourmet Delight in Bay of Somme!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by M. Watson, we witness a thrilling moment straight from the underground world of wildlife. A taupe (mole) has emerged from its hidden lair and found itself amidst the lush greenery of a home garden in Baie de Somme, France. With its keen insectivore instincts at play, our little protagonist is caught red-clawed as it indulges in a sumptuous worm feast! The close-up shot allows us to marvel at every intricate detail – from its tiny feet to those sharp and determined claws that effortlessly dig through soil. Nestled within the picturesque landscape of Picardie, this European mole showcases both elegance and resilience as it goes about its daily routine. Its presence reminds us that even beneath our manicured lawns lies an entire ecosystem bustling with life. While some may consider moles pests due to their burrowing habits, let's take a moment to appreciate their vital role in maintaining ecological balance. These fascinating creatures aerate the soil and control insect populations, ensuring healthy gardens for all. So next time you spot one of these elusive mammals making an appearance on your turf, remember to admire their tenacity and resourcefulness. And who knows? You might just catch them relishing another gourmet treat right under your nose!
