Snail Shell

This photo taken in March last year shows a Snail shell floating in Common Frog Rana temporaria frogspawn in a small pond near the Monument in Ashridge Forest. The shell may have belonged to a Ramshorn Snail Planorbarius sp., but it is hard to be certain which species as they are notoriously difficult to identify.
