Getting away from insects and back to gastropods.... (sure there will be some birds to talk about soon!) Two interesting species from the last week....
The first is the Wandering Snail which is in fact an aquatic species but you will see it stuck to reed stem or halfway up bushes or crossing the path as it merrily wanders from pool to ditch in its travels!
Wandering Snail (by me)
and the second is seemingly new to the reserve but has probably always been here. This Plaited Snail was found on one of the old military outbuildings amongst the trees and apparently this narrow conical species likes damp woodland.
