Steve is the closest so far but only because its underwater!! Not fair to prolong this because whatever method I use I cannot recognise it and I know what it is!! :-D A clue: I have never seen one of these in a village pond before though I'm sure they're not as rare as I think!! :)

Believe or not it was a turtle!! We had a big debate as to whether it was a terrapin or a turtle but when I got home I discovered that terrapin is a name given to certain turtles that live half in and half out of the water. So it was a turtle and may been a terrapin!! :-D

Gordon-Keeble Cars badge. According to Wikipedia a pet tortoise walked into shot of the inaugural photo shoot (taken in the grounds of the car makers).

Yes well done chaps, nice badge. I did wonder whether I had made just too far a leap from turtles to tortoises but I find that all tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises :-D

Well remembered Mick, and one of my random leaps from a tortoiseshell butterfly to Gordon Keeble's badge.
