Who eats slugs and snails?

Did you know that slugs and snails form an important part of the diet of the Long-tailed Field Mouse aka Woodmouse?

We hear in the Spring the tapping on stones/slabs the thrush bashing the snails to get at the food. The blackbirds are forever pulling apart leafy areas to find hidden inverts including snails.

The French are quite fond of them too - Snails that is - not sure they've progressed to Slugs yet

If only my slugs weren't twice the size of my woodmice......

Snails - "purging for a day or so.....".  I was always told to do it for at least a week.  
Boil Slugs in vinegar ......Mmm - I've got some spare vinegar - just need to catch a slug now

If only wood pigeons ate molluscs

@philippasmith2. It’s easy to catch slugs and snails,   they don’t move that fast. 🐌

Well prepared and properly cooked, snails are a delicious meal.  They can be done in a tomato based sauce with Parma ham etc.  or in a creamy walnut sauce.  You know them as grilled with parsley and garlic which is also nice except this masks the taste of snail which is fairly bland.  Slugs - pass!
