We studied the habitat use of four male European mink in riparian habitats of south-western Europe during the activity period. Mink used areas with a certain degree of bramble or shrub cover at the riverbank, and low forest cover. On the other hand, mink avoided areas with dense forest cover, whilst other categories were used as amenable, including modified areas and areas with a moderate degree of human activities. Dense bramble cover allow mink to forage safely and handle prey. Dense forest cover prevents development of undergrowth. More attention should be paid to landscape and habitat features for the conservation of European mink.
