User's notes
The leech was sighted making its way downstream just below the surface of a flowing water drain adjacent to ANBG's Red Centre. All of the images are of the leech below the water surface except for the final image which shows the leech out of the water and turned upside down to show the underside. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
