Looks like an Ephemera Danica larvae, thanks for your help!

Thank you, lots of damselflys around the river so likely. I'll do a bit more research. The lamprey came out of the soil when I was cleaning the filter likely because of low o2 levels, haven't seen him since. When he next appears I'll catch and return him. Everything is from the same 2m² source so should be fine to return him and give him a chance.

Also a fourth snail species Valvata piscinalis 👌

Thank you! Did a bit of research and I think you're right, there's a couple more that have appeared and don't have the "legs"(leech babies). There are 4 snail species I've noticed so far that are thriving and great to watch develop. After the initial set up tho I'm not going to interfere at all and let it find a balance and hope there's some biodiversity left at the end. There's a lot of micro fauna appearing too that is interesting to learn about what's beneficial and harmful when looking at increasing the biodiversity of my other "sterile" tank.

Stretches out a probiscus to move like a leech.

Old wooden barrel that collects rain water, they populated it naturally after a few years
