We had some mega thunderstorms over the weekend and water flooded into our garage, partly due to a blocked drain. I tried cleaning it this morning by pushing a running water hose through and lots of strange noises emanated from it, then this guy popped its head out of the end in the garage when I removed the hose! I captured it in a plastic bucket (last two pics) and released it by our garden pond (first 3 pics). It was last seen heading back towards the house. More storms are forecast today, hope it does not go back into the drain pipe, it'd only 5 cm diameter.
