back in from the other side?

| Hi all,
|
| My wife reports that this morning she found three of our trapdoor snails
on
| our lawn instead of the pond. Unfortunately, she found one of them by
| running it over with a bicycle.
|
| Does anyone know why they might be wandering? We've had the pond for a
few
| years now and they haven't done this before. Do they start migrating in
the
| summer after a few years :-)? I think the water quality is good. We had
a
| big rain last night, so I think they're just roaming because they can, but
I
| wanted to make sure it's not a sign like rats leaving a ship...
