Mole (Talpa europaea) is widespread and numerous in Belarus, but most of all people see their holes, not the mole itself. Its because the major part of moles life is hidden in the soil. There is a strange belief that its possible to see a mole only one time in the whole life has some spread in Belarus. If that were true, I must was be reincarnated not less than 5 times ;)
2011-09-04 Lower Austria, district Wien Umgebung, wet meadow in 'Feuchte Ebene' near Mitterndorf (185 msm Quadrant 7964/4).German name: (for soil) Niedermoor-Torf (peaty soil); (for the animal) Europischer MaulwurfPitch-black molehills like those are very typical for some places in 'Feuchte Ebene' or the broader region of 'Mitterndorfer Becken' (as defined in the album description) where low moors developed. I thought at first that this is chernozem, but I was told it isn't.
