I watched a cock blackbird find a slow worm in the grass and peck it.
The slow worm was a small one, about six inches long and a bit broader than a very fat worm. The slow worm jumped, wriggled and made a dash for a hedge. The blackbird managed to peck it several times and went under the hedge after it but lost it.
I don't think the blackbird had any chance of pecking it into little bits, so why did it try? Do blackbirds ever succeed with slow worms or snakes?
