Garden Snails North Fife
Garden Snails North Fife, these wee specimens were tonight on our house entrance wall, over the years snails have provided food for song thrushes which now are less prevalent causing a rise in snail population. Now we keep ducks snails are no longer a garden plant problem. When one feeds ducks they will notice what has been tossed to them and gobbled up after inspection on the ground. Snails, snapped up mid air before they reach the ground. A while ago in times of being duck-less and without thrushes I have thrown snails across the road into the adjacent field, recently there was a noise at the door and on opening there was nobody there, peering down there was this snail, and a little voice said "what was all that about".
