    Turtle sp. in Enfield (London)

    A lot of the ponds & a few slow moving rivers near me have terrapins in them. I was just shocked to see something this large in Greater London.

    Turtle sp. in Enfield (London)

    I was out today & saw the terrapin basking on the tree trunk. When I returned with my camera this brut of a turtle had joined it. Can anyone please confirm the ID of it? Cheers, Simon
