Gazing across along the sandbanks, something didn't quite belong...
Upon further inspection, a Terrapin perhaps? (I've informed the MWT of its presence).
Edit: Yellow Bellied Slider Turtle.
Leaving Penarth via the canal path, the Kingfisher made a welcome flypast along the water (still kicking myself for taking out of focus pictures of it!). A Red Kite was spotted hunting over the woodland by the canal, heading toward Aberbechan. And finally, a Jay.
Lovely set Edward - where on earth has that terrapin come from?
ReplyDeleteAnd apols just checked the 'Redwing' pic - sorry but looks like a Song Thrush to me, tho of course happy to be corrected!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right, I'd rather be corrected, helps me learn! Thanks Mark.
ReplyDeleteEdit: Just studying your pictures of the Redwing, Mark, the difference is quite noticable.
DeleteGlad you have one too-there's been one at L'dod for several years:we guess released after the Ninja craze when they got too big. If I remember correctly , it's called a Red eared Terrapin or similar.
ReplyDeleteNice set Edward really like the Jay
ReplyDeleteOur Terrapin is actually a Yellow Bellied Slider part of the turtle family, just had a phone call off a friend who has 3 of these that have all been found in ponds in his local area
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil, the post has been updated.
