Managed a trip to the Yorkshire Dales for these Turtle Doves before I disappear for a few days. They kept there distance, so unfortunately they are large crops.
Many thanks as always for your comments and faves.

Turtle time - Galapagos Islands
Today will be my 12th consecutive day at work. I am ready for some time off and hopefully a little peaceful nature time this weekend.

Thank you for taking the time to view, fave or comment!
No turtles anywhere near as this dove was refueling for its long way to the wintering grounds that might be as far away as Sri Lanka.
Another one from the Australian Archives. Took this photo two years ago and never could work out why an osprey would carry around a rock!!!!! But it's not a rock, its a turtle - crop it and you can even make out the turtle's head/eyes etc. Thanks blaylock1 for solving the mystery!!
Spiny Turtle in the forest! 🐢🌳
One thing I did not expect to see whilst wandering around the forest of Phuket was a turtle walking around! This big female Spiny Turtle was walking through the dense undergrowth on top of a rainforest hill away from any water. She was possibly searching for a suitable nesting site!
South-east Asia has a very impressive turtle/tortoise diversity and it's always so exciting to see one! 🐢
Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center, Austin, TX. Sony nex5r and Schneider Kreuznach Componar 50/4.5 enlarger lens. The turtles have grown accustomed to the passers by at the entrance to the Center, and they seem to enjoy their theatrics.
This green turtle was one of 20 this particular day that crawled on the Hookipa Park beach on Maui, Hawaii to rest. The turtle had just come ashore and was about to drop its head to sleep.
The green turtle is listed as endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. Major nesting is done in the French Frigate Shoals but some goes on right here in HI and we ran into one ranger going on a 'turtle nest watch.'
Blanding's turtle, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada.
Got out on the pontoon today, I even got to drive.
One of the things we saw was this Blanding's turtle sitting at the edge of the marsh.
Emydoidea blandingii
Blanding's Turtles live in shallow water, usually in large wetlands and shallow lakes with lots of water plants.
It is not unusual, though, to find them hundreds of metres from the nearest water body, especially while they are searching for a mate or traveling to a nesting site.
Blanding's Turtles hibernate in the mud at the bottom of permanent water bodies from late October until the end of April.

A green sea turtle seen here was feeding on algae on the lavarock in shallow water at Kahaluu Beach Park, Big Island of Hawaii. Observers are asked to stay 10 feet away at least so zoomed the shot. The turtles don't come up for air very often and when they do you have a few seconds to take the shot.

I was leaving local park when this big fella decided to cross my path. Made sure I stopped traffic so it could make it safely across the road. (Cell phone capture)
This little guy is at a place where they rehabilitate wild animals that are found, the place has been there since my kids were little, I guess it's a good thing that most of the cages were empty, only 4 or so occupied, means less in need of help... my Grandson enjoyed the trek around and up to the park... so it was cool, made for some good pics...
