On Saturday the 23rd of September, on the occasion of the Yorkshire Naturalists’ Union introductory meeting for new members at Armley Mills Industrial Museum Jane Walton found an adult specimen climbing on Broom by the side of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal (SE27381 34255), the rest of the party then joined in the search and a further two specimens were located. A second search, at the same locality carried out on the 27th of September, produced a further three specimens all on Sycamore leaves one of which was over 10 feet above the ground.
This record extends the rage of this, “Alien” snail northwards by some 30 miles since R.M.Smith found this species New to Yorkshire in gardens on the west side of Sheffield in September 2000.
