Leeches and newts!

Following yesterday's excursion Click here to find fossils, we returned to Aughertree fell. A couple more species of fossil but we were able to confirm the palmate newt and saw some cracking male great-crested newts. Then we found what we think is a horse leech - awaiting confirmation...now confirmed!

Male and female palmate newts.

Horse leech...about 10cm when stretched out.
