ABSTRACT

A fully developed, intact shell of Cochlicopa lubrica (O. F. Müll.) was found in the nest of the lesser spotted eagle (Aquila pomarina). It was most probably brought accidentally with the nest-building or nest-lining material. This is a new way of dispersal by birds, besides the well-known cases of carrying snail individuals on birds' legs or feathers.
