Eww - Leeches

We’ve spent all morning cleaning out our little wildlife pond as it has been infested by leeches. Now I know they’re wildlife too, but eww!!!
Great capture

This has transported me back in time to when we used to paddle in the little stream in the park. They gave me the creeps then and they still do now, yuk!
A great capture though of these pesky varmints against the colourful foliage.

I have heard of leeches first time I have seen one.,heard they are used medically.

Eeeek! No hiding place for them on this colourful autumn leaf!

@kvphoto Hahaha yes I know :)

@arthurclark Apparently so - yuk, not for me though, I hope.

@bubblequeen @miss_molly @clivee @francesc Thank you. I hadn't noticed them before so although we moan about having to clear up next door's leaves, they actually did us a favour this time.

@pattyblue You are so right! I remember our Mom terrifying us with stories of leeches attacking us so that we wouldn't paddle in the park, and I vaguely remember an old film set in a jungle where a man had to burn one off a woman's leg with a cigarette. Both of these things have really given me a phobia about leeches. Yukky.
