Come on, Mum!

Sitting typing away here and out the open door heard a familiar tapping. I crept to the door and saw this thrush whacking the snail on the concrete. I wasn't fast enough for this activity but on watching, the thrush got the snail exposed then in came family! Poor little starving birds with their pathetic chirping! Mum kept out of their way but the snail changed beaks several times.
Hey, its my first decent bird shot! I'm chuffed!

Great "capture", Maggiemae. Congratulations. I'd be chuffed, too. (I did have to look up the meaning--not one I was familiar with, but I LOVE IT ; )

[Laraine Kensicki]

but you were quick enough, and snapped this excellent shot!

Great capture Maggie, love thrushes.

[Pat Knowles]

Ah Spring & new babies, what a lovely sight! We have hardly any thrushes around here unfortunately any more which is very sad. Clever birds!

[Vee]

I just saw a bunch of Thrushes on my walk this morning...these look very similar to the Hermit Thrushes. Great catch!

Great capture. What a smart bird to think of smashing the snail.
