Night visitor...

Paul Iddon

This proved far more difficult to get than I had ever thought it would be...

Mind you, this is only the second time ever I have seen this creature of the night in my garden...




Rolled up when disturbed...




Keeping to him/herself in the corner behind the rockery.




Sorry but the nose went behind a newly emerged leaf growth.. coudn't quite get the focus on the eye...





Snuffling along looking for food I guess, he/she got more of a bargain, but didn't get a midnight snack in the end as the slug actually got away!

Wonderful series Paul! thumb
The first shows their formidable defenses and is the reason I don't let my dog out after dark off leash. A neighbor's great dane got into it with one and had to make a midnight trip to the emergency Vet hospital.

My cat kept coming for a nosey, but didn't get too close... heheheh.


Thanks for looking and commenting.
