• Title: NatureScot Commissioned Report 597: European medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis L. in Scotland - surveillance 2012
• Summary:Only one adult specimen of H. medicinalis was recorded at The Black Lochs, and six H. medicinalis were recorded at Loch nan Digl. Land management around the Black Lochs has apparently changed little, except by a recent reduction in the sheep flock. At Loch nan Digl the owner also reports little management change, but the area does have large stands of Rhododendron ponticum (rhododendron). There is still insufficient knowledge of the species’ ecology and behaviour in Scotland to allow an effective sampling programme to be implemented.
