Leopard Slug

After the 'Bird Sale' we all went into the 'Wildlife Garden' to fill up the feeders and check the bird baths. We found an unusual slug which was identified as a 'Leopard Slug'. Scientists are unclear of their whereabouts and to date there have been no reported sightings in this area. I have therefore registered our sighting to the Open Air Laboratories Network run by Imperial College, London. These slugs are garden friendly as they eat rotting vegetation and other slugs - they don't eat healthy plants!
