This Song Thrush was collecting snails on our drive and smashing them to smythereens before eating. It was very quick at it, consuming 3 or 4 in only 5 minutes. Its not something you see well very often...
The shell-less one at the end doesn't look too appetising to me...

Well captured sequence, Stewart. I often see them eating slugs in my garden, but not before they`ve given them a good rub on the paving slabs to get rid of the slime.
D - This birds head is covered in slime. It was vanishing into the ivy on our wall then emerging with a snail... E - I have seen them doing it but they are often wary and run off if they see you watching. I was lucky to get this one from our window.

Excellent: They do this in my garden and I keep trying to get a picture of them doing it.

Great shots.
