Saw this along the shore, I'm guessing laying eggs. I kept my distance so I would not disturb the turtle.
I would like to thank everyone who take the time to view and comment on my photographs it is greatly appreciated and encouraging
This is Terrapin Creek on the upper stretch way above where we kayak. I shot this from the old railroad bridge that is not the Chief Ladiga bicycle trail.

While exploring Thompson's Beach on the Delaware Bay, I noticed a large number of dead & decayed horseshoe crabs, but was totally stunned to see three stranded & decayed turtles. I had never seen this before on any beach. After doing some research, I believe these are Northern Diamondback Terrapins. They are found in coastal waters & are native to NJ. Their shell pieces, called scutes, have concentric rings. They are the only turtles with lips. I wish I had seen one of these lovely creatures alive.

This is the picture I have been waiting for. This picture almost (not quite) captures how beautiful Terrapin Creek is.
The hurricanes brought some much needed rain to Terrapin creek. The water was flowing pretty good today. When I put in the creek I usually paddle as far upstream as the current will allow. This is the end of the upper float on the creek. Those little falls are fun to run but Ive only got to do that once as the creek has to be running over a certain rate for the upper float to be doable.
I photographed this terrapin back in 2017 with fz330 bridge camera and It was put onto the natural history museum (Turtles 230 million years) London website making him a world star. Enough of my bragging...
Many thanks to you ALL for the views, faves and comments you make on my shots it is very appreciated
Well I never knew there were terrapins down at the Llanelli Wetlands ...... until today. Amazed to see this little fella sunbathing. Something new I learnt today :)

Mixed series of seven. It was Rat day at the local park. I have been told there are a lot but it is the first time I had seen at least four in different areas. The Terrapins (6+) were sunbathing, one with a baby Moorhen alongside and the Carp drove me mad jumping out of the water every time I put the camera down but I managed just one shot!
