    It looks like a Water Snail of sorts, Beryl!

    Lovely photos, Louise, especially the second one!

    Good call, Catherine. I'd never though of that, but as you can see by the water on the back, it was the result of a dive.

    I was thinking of a Ramshorn Snail like this one on our pond wall. They eat algae from water plants deep down as well.

    Thanks, all.
    Yep, Catherine - I don't think it's too deep there and they had been diving, so might well be.
