Her-indoors (who hardly ever is btw), came back from an early morning
walk Sat. with the following story.
Walking by the canal I heard a "plop" sound is if someone had thrown
something inthe water. Looked where it came from and (believe me folks
this is what she said), there was a turtle (tortoise?) swimming there!
I know this is way OT for this NG but as many knowledgable folk live
here, I just wanted to ask can these creatures live ok/long in canal
water? I guess it may be a pet someone just dumped in there. Anyway,
it seemed (I'm told) quote happy and was swimming about ok
occasionally coming to the surface - hence the plopping noise.
otoh global warming could be spreading more quickly that we know.
probably a terrapin, unwanted pets get dumped in rivers and canals.
