Garlic butter?



      We found this selection of snails hiding under a plank leaning against a wall in a farmyard. The plank was moved by an inquisitive terrier rooting about at ground level and it's quite a colony.
      We have no idea if the snails are of the edible variety, certainly the thrushes had been getting through a few judging by the smashed shells on the ground, so they like them.
      We've got friends who love snails in garlic butter but we just can't get enthusiastic about them so we'll leave them in peace.
      We wonder if the thrushes would like some garlic butter with their breakfast?
