Another from my recent long weekend in Spain

Remnant of the Ninja Turtle craze, but seem to grow much larger than our feral t'pins, all were well over 12" long, they must like the Spanish weather!

hi mike,

interesting image. did you see many of them? it would be interesting to know if it was possible to get some half in water and half out shots like we were seeing on here the other week.

Hello Mike
Quite different to see a terrapin on here, it looks like he's climbing up an alligator's head :biggrin: . Nice one.
Best wishes

Yep - unusual creature - I wonder if a lower angle may have added some additional impact to the shot.
