Blackbird and Slow worm, extended showing its length 15598 339 Morvern Blackbird (Turdus merula) and Slow worm (Anguis fragilis), Kingairloch, Morvern. Given that the length of a typical Blackbird is about 25cm, it is estimated that this Slow worm must have measured about 20cm, so it is likely to be a young Slow worm, (an adult being 40 to 50cm in length). 06 June 2019

Blackbird picking up Slow worm tail 15595 339 Morvern Blackbird (Turdus merula) attacking a Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis), Kingairloch, Morvern. The Slow Worm has shed its tail to distract the Blackbird from attacking the main part of its body. The Blackbird pecked at its tail, then flew off with it. The Slow Worm escaped into the grass, so the strategy was successful. However, the Slow Worm will still have to use up energy to grow another tail, so it may or may not survive in the longer run. 06 June 2019
