has now been identified - and my thanks to everyone who assisted.  I've
now taken better pics and it's quite clear what it is now.  A signal
crayfish.

Is there a national chart marking where they are? We live quite near
the rochdale canal (I can see it out of my window justabouts) and the
thought of them crawling into my garden makes me feel iccky.

I think they're edible - Hugh FW said so I think - but they look
pretty wierd.

Thanks! My OH says I'm being silly - LOL but when I find one in the
garden it'll be me who deals with it.
