The Last Ditch was a creative event exploring the endangered Little Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail and the ditches and environment it thrives in. The tiny and beautiful snail can fit on the pad of one of your fingers – with room to spare!
Little Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail
Its name is surely bigger than the animal itself! This aquatic snail is rarely more than 5mm in diameter, but it’s one of the rarest, most restricted and most vulnerable freshwater molluscs in Britain.
