Unexpected new mollusc - Cornu aspersum

This morning, while on a brief trip to pick up something that was left for me, I turned a rock and photographed the routine Cornu aspersum, that I expected to find along the walls of the reserve.

The surprise element of this is that when I came to copy the species line from the "complete list" tab of my spreadsheet to the "2021 list" tab it turned out it didn't exist! So Cornu aspersum is a new mollusc, the second new snail of the year.


Since I'm in mollusc world, here's another recent 2021 addition, and one of my favourite land molluscs - Hedgehog Slug.
