EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we witness an extraordinary gathering of aestivating snails in Southwest England. These mediterranean molluscs have made a rare appearance in the United Kingdom, creating quite a buzz among wildlife enthusiasts. As if straight out of a fairytale, these sleepy creatures have formed an enchanting cluster atop delicate dune plants. Their shells glisten under the European sun as they peacefully snooze away their days. Who knew that such tiny beings could create such a magical sight? It's almost as if these coastal dunes have become the hottest vacation spot for our slow-moving friends. Perhaps they are sharing stories from their Mediterranean adventures or simply enjoying each other's company while taking a well-deserved break from their usual routine. This image reminds us to appreciate even the smallest wonders of nature and cherish moments when different species come together harmoniously. So next time you find yourself strolling along sandy shores in Europe, keep your eyes peeled for these elusive sleepers – it might just be your lucky day to witness this remarkable display!
