The Brown-lipped snail


Brown-lipped snail

I discovered this wonderful shell on a walk some days back and made a small drawing from different angles. Confidently I think this is a Brown-lipped. 

The Brown-lipped Snail comes in many colour forms, but usually has a brown band around the opening of its shell. 

It prefers damp spots in wide range of habitats, from gardens to grasslands, woods to hedges.

More vital information about the Brown-lipped snail is on the excellent Wild Life Trusts web site… including important guidance on encouraging their presences in our gardens and countryside.


Presumably most of the housing bash-build housing developments round here do little to help these lovely creatures.
