Snails reaches Top Gear.

Opening my back door I had this visitor on the patio, good I thought lets check out the macro button on my new camera.

Thankfully after fetching my camera and setting it up, I was lucky to find that he or she hadn't gone far. There's a question, how do you know if it's male or female?

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

@windridge Thank you Susan, I've just been informed from a friend on Facebook that they are hermaphrodites, just shows my ignorance.

Snails are cool. I made a geocache out of an abandoned snail shell. Nice capture of this fast moving guy!!
