New Turtle Pond (UK)

Hi all,
Are the emergents mares tails?
Yes, Hippurus vulgaris. The reeds were all Sparganium erectum and I think I can see some Ranuculus lingua as well.

After we put the liner in I built a slope of bath stone rubble which can see behind "Terry" with Filipendula ulmaria etc. I assume they hibernated somewhere under the stones.

At the bottom left corner of the photo is their log, but they only tended to use that for basking when it was very warm, normally they just found a sunny place in the Reeds.

cheers Darrel
