EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, we witness the ingenious methods of a skilled molecatcher from Keld, Swaledale. With precision and expertise, four adult European moles find themselves suspended on a barbed wire fence like peculiar ornaments. It seems our molecatcher has turned his conquests into an unusual display of his prowess! Set against the breathtaking backdrop of North Yorkshire's enchanting countryside, this snapshot showcases both nature's beauty and man's determination to protect his land. The picturesque fields and rolling hills serve as a reminder that even amidst rural tranquility, battles are fought to maintain harmony. While some may question the ethics behind such measures, it cannot be denied that these subterranean pests can wreak havoc on farmland and gardens alike. Our molecatcher is merely employing controlled trapping techniques to curb their population growth. As autumn paints its vibrant hues across England's landscape, it appears that these mischievous moles have met their match. Their demise serves as a testament to human ingenuity in controlling nature’s delicate balance. So let us raise our glasses (or shovels) to this determined molecatcher! His tireless efforts ensure that farms remain fruitful and gardens flourish undisturbed by these elusive creatures. Cheers to you, sir – protector of Yorkshire’s soil!
