A Surpise Terrapin, err Turtle, err … Tortoise?
Today I decided to cover the route that LondonFlickrMeetups made a few weeks ago to which I couldn't attend. I was expecting a fairly vague affair walking along the Thames. The usual herons, geese, gulls, ducks, cyclists, runners etc. Just as I was getting to Richmond (by the floodgates) I spotted this chap basking in the sun. By the time I left he had quite a crowd. All wondering what kind turtle, tortoise or terrapin it is? Any ideas?
You can fave this too!
I've built a wordpress plugin that uses the API from photo sharing sites to share when people fave my photos on them within this site.
To show up on the left - simply fave the photo at one of the below sites.
In the future I look forward to making it more available for other wordpess users to benefit from.

My Gear
It's not all about the camera. Some of my favourite shots were taken with a 4MP point and shoot camera; and I've been lucky enough to have these photos sold. That said sometimes your gear limits you. Even the gear I used for the shot is not perfect - you're mileage may vary!

Nice shot. At first glance I thought the turtle was sitting on top of another turtle.
