When I looked out onto my garden this morning I spotted this
late night reveller slinking, or should I say sliding!, his way back home after, no doubt, spending the night partying (munching!) his
way around my garden plants.

Or so he thought!!
Yes...I removed him to a safe distance away from my
garden!!!

Amazing that they know where to go and don't run out of lubricant on the way.
Good series of images of a subject many would overlook.
Bully. Oh, its better than, you know what I'm going to mention, kill them, oops I said it. They are beautiful, and he'll be back!

Wonderful images Trevor... and you seem to know a lot about a good night out ;-)
Get the pellets out Trevor.{:)
I planted some lettuce and one of these pesky snails ate them all. From Findlay
Great photos Trevor. Not a garden visitor I am ever pleased to see especially as they always visit in droves ;-)
I used to collect them in a bucket and relocate them a good way up the road. I swear they marched back down that road again en masse, an army returning to barracks!
great shots Trevor,did you have a job to keep up wih his movements.
