A sora (Porzana carolina, Rallidae) eating one of many pond snails I watched it catch and swallow.
During my many years of visiting wetlands and being aware of the common, though elusive sora, I never had the pleasure of actually seeing one. I came across this bird in late September feeding in a small pond. That's a snail in its bill. I watched it eat ten or twelve snails, shell and all, in very short order.

Some areas of Graciosa Island are covered by billions of empty snail shells. Unfortunately I didn't figured out how they get there. Please tell me if you know the reason.
La Graciosa is the smallest inhabited island of the Canary Islands. The island is part of the Chinijo Archipelago Nature Reserve since 1986. I discovered the island during 2 days by foot & by bike.....despite the strong winds a fantastic nature experience! The biggest challenge was not the wind but finding good photo spots. The area is highly sensitive to human impact and as usual in a nature reserve, it is not allowed to leave the paths. You are strongly encouraged to obey the rules. Traces from cars, bikes or even people can last for many decades and the destroyed vegetation needs a very long time to recover.

I spied this empty snail shell as you see it, resting atop a mossy stump. One can only assume its owner has headed for a warmer climate.
Giersch ist ein Wildkraut, das sich schnell im Garten ausbreitet und nicht mehr so leicht entfernen lässt. Aber es hat wunderschöne zarte Blüten, die auch bei Insekten beliebt sind.
Zudem sind die oberirdischen Teile essbar. Nur die Wurzel gilt als giftig.
Picked this shell up on a walk today.

Frozen bubble, snail shell, tip of a submerged colorful log and submerged leaves under the ice. Looking straight down from a wall. Things like this catch my eye and only last a short time.
Sorry for so many photos at one time, just saving some memories since haven't been out much. No need to comment, please. :)
Hello everybody and a Happy Macro Monday. On this picture you see a slug i found today at a tree in our park. On the snail shell you can see that structure of this nature formed body. I hope you enjoy that Colors and that changes in light and shadow.
Have no idea if this is correct for the theme, other than shells seem to be popular in the group pool.
I did do a Google search, but was none the wiser!!
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
for Texture Tuesday - The White edition... again I have to relay mostly on nature for my props here :)
Taken at the expressway park a few blocks from our house. The water in the pond where I usually see lots of birds was so low on one end, and there were all these HUGE snail shells stuck in the mud. I walked out on the spongy terrain which was covered in the footprints of all kinds of birds. I picked up the prettiest snail shell I could find, shook the sand and dirt out and propped it on this cypress knee with the intention of getting a good shot of the snail shell. However, the overall shot made me laugh when I got it out of the can, so I'm posting it first! Looks like an alien eye periscoping out of the greenery to me! LOL! Thanks for viewing!

Links und rechts neben dem Eingangsbereich in die Stiftskirche von Melk ist jeweils eine Wendeltreppe wie diese angebaut, die die Stiftskirche mit den Trakten der Abtei verbindet. So kann man beispielsweise von der Bibliothek in die Kirche gelangen ohne nach außen gehen zu müssen. Auf mich wirkte das Stiegenhaus wie ein kunstvoll dekoriertes Schneckenhaus.
On the left and right side of the entrance area of the abbey church of Melk is attached a circular staircase like this, which connect the church with the abbey sections. So one can reach for example the church from the library without the need to go outside. To me appeared the staircase like a artful decorated snail shell.
