No joke: After mole vole now arrived on the island
an April 1 joke
by Bart Bosch
Monday, March 29, 2010 The
island fauna, after the field-mouse, with a probability bordering on certainty "enriched" with a new animal prey: the mole.
The mole came up today (Monday) not on the island, but has settled on the southeast side of Texel Airport.
One expert suggested after inspection that will almost certainly are molehills.
The presence of molehills was reported from the new police helicopter from the National Police Agency, who attended Monday Texel.
Airport Master Mike de Bruijn originally thought a fool he was taken because moles do not occur here.
The policeman was adamant, however, and De Bruijn pile height was taken.
There were indeed several molehills to lie with tunnels also were visible.
Immediately, the former Ranger luchhavendienst Jaap van Lenten call to bebestigen that molehills were.
This came directly from the airport and could very likely find that there was the work of a mole.
When removing the sand from one of the molehills was indeed also the entrance of a tunnel is visible.
The main question is where the mole comes from.
Possibly the mole tails with a cargo floor, which was recently delivered to the airport to smooth bumps.
Texel Airport wants to catch the mole, so the beast can do no further damage to the grass courts of the airport.
The season is upon us and skydiving also about to start again.
Recently, the field mouse for the first time on Texel found.
The fear is that it displaces the protected root vole.
