Reservoir Wildlife
Thames Water is planning to build a massive reservoir near Abingdon in Oxfordshire. It will cover four square miles and contain anything up to 150 million cubic metres of water. Dylan investigated the likely impact of a new reservoir on wildlife. Woodland and hedges will end up under water but nature is surprisingly quick to populate even the most apparently sterile of water bodies.

Girdled Snails
The National Museum of Wales is eager to track the spread of the Girdled Snail. Native to the Mediterranean it was first spotted in Devon in the 1950s.
