Dear colleagues
In a recent trip to the Dobrugea region of Romania i was travelling past the Babadag forest along the road that goes past Slava Rusa. Upon emerging from the forested area to more open type countryside, I took a walk along a promising looking path. Soon I was delighted. I spotted a tortoise, which I photographed. Then, a few yards further on was another slightly larger tortoise, which I also snapped.
Now what I would like to request is: I hear there is the Hermanns tortoise and the Spur thighed tortoise in that country.
Please can anyone assist with id of the animals I saw (attached)
