Sparrers are poorly designed to empty snails; their beaks are quite the wrong shape.

I suspect a thrush dropped the snail onto a stone to crack its shell so the thrush is easy to eat
Thatâs lots of beer you owe me wee birdie

If the thrush had shattered the shell it wouldnât be there for convenient beak-stropping, because there would be only shards.

My thrushes in the garden just crack the shell like an egg and leave large shards of shell just right for beak stropping

As far as thrushes are concerned, I saw blackbirds, redwings and fieldfares, yesterday. Ooh, and linnets (but they arenât thrushes, of course).
The roof w#rk progresses noisily.

Itâs blurry cold, here. Iâll buzz off to bed, in order to be awake, present and correct for the roofers in the morning. Best nights, Cellarites.
