    Probable last years vintage, but a mighty fine enemy.

    He looks handsome but somehow I'd still not want him to come stay with me.

    I believe Yorkshire snails to be one of the most successful species on the planet. Despite picking up over 100 in one weekend, there will still be a fresh crop on Monday!

    Fortunately the ducks next door are rather partial to them! x

    Caps snails have only two eyes but four tentacles or feelers the eyes are on the long ones.

    He is beautiful when you look close, thats why I prefer to catch them and release them elsewhere rather than use nasty beer traps or slug pellets - its not a nice way to kill anything. I put them in the dustbin sometimes in the hope they have a better time at the landfill site.
