Garden Snails - Relocated

I forgot I had took this shot. It sat in my Panasonic TZ7 all week.

These are some snails I found while gardening last Sunday. I placed them on a piece of A4 paper and clicked away.

I put them in a bag and when I took Ruby on her lunchtime walk , I relocated them into the local park. I hope they like the new home :)

You are a snail's friend! Perhaps not the Park Gardeners friend though! Snails can eat a lot! There are quite a variety of different ones here - that gold one must be special1

Very nice shot. So much variety. They've probably formed a gang and are marauding across the park terrorising the local snails!

Nice pic!!

Love capture of the shells....nicely displayed. Nice of you to relocate them. ..I am sure they are grateful!

Maybe they provided a meal for birds in the park.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Thanks for sharing. We do not get them here very often. Think it is to dry.

[Hazel]

They are beautiful: such lovely colours and patterns. (A neighbour here got fed up with the squirrels in his garden and got them in a cage and took them to the New Forest - found out later that it was illegal!! Probably nicer for them though....). You are very kind!

Nice shells, Phil, good table top still life.

they are so pretty
my daughter brought home a new pet - it is a Panda Snail - photos will follow when I get a chance

[Pat Knowles]

Rather unusual she'll colours specially the yellow ones. When you look closely they have beautiful markings.

@happypat mother nature is beautiful Pat, even in snails :)

@annied i look forward to your panda snail appearing soon annie

@quietpurplehaze cheers haze, i did wonder if taking them out of the garden and moving them to the park would stress them out, but my thoughts for my plants came first

@nickspicsnz you could be right nick, the park does attract gangs :) :)
