The Radio 4 programme Material World is sponsoring some research into
homing instincts of snails. As part of this, they are looking for people
willing to swap snails with their friends - you both collect snails from
your garden, dab different coloured paint on to their shells, swap
snails, release your friend's snails in your garden, then wait to see if
your snails, released in their garden (and identifiable by different
paint colour on shell) find their way back to your garden.

Anyone on the South coast like to do a snail swap with me here in
Normandy :-) see if the buggers can swim?
