Get OFF my Nest!

I'm not sure whether a turtle of this size could eat one of those ducklings. I hope not. I took this earlier in the year in one of London's ponds. There seems to be lots in London. People have turtles as pets and when they get too big for their tanks, the owners let them free in the local waterways which is disastrous for the local wildlife.

I hope not too. Hopefully mum could get the babies away if the turtle did try.

Too cute! Love the moss on the turtles back.

@marlboromaam the green stuff is called duck weed. Those ducks won't go hungry as the whole pond was covered in it!
