Molluscs 12??? I see an easy
Molluscs 12??? I see an easy way to bump up this site's total. I showed Graeme Lyons his first Girdled Snail (Hygromia cinctella) on Esher Common. I reckon that's probably new for the site, lol.
Seeing as the Myriapod total is only 10 there's a fair chance that the Nanogona polydesmoides we found is also new there.
Soon be catching up with Wicken Fen! :)
