When sorting the shells we found I discovered this: Partula mooreana (first release last year); middle 3 new dead from this year, right one from last year (first evidence of survival for a year). On left unmarked shell of a wild born. Amazing to be so close to population establishment so soon.

The great find of the day was this wild-born Partula tohiveana away from the release site - so we had population establishment last year and now range expansion. I couldn't ask for better results without being greedy!
