"The Herons Are Coming!": More Turtle Tours, 2024 (6)

Yes, London's Turtles are Still Vacationing in Florida

But I Found a Few More Photos from 2023

Introduction:

The month of March, 2024, had weather one could easily describe as "up and down," "spring-like and wintery," "Oh this is so lovely and warm, but why is it snowing tomorrow!" and "It's raining icicles. What the heck!"

In early March a few turtles arrived by bus from Florida and made their way to their spring and summer homes. They basked for a few days and then an ice storm drove them to find cover. Here it is, early April, and they are just starting to poke their noses outside again.

Please click on the YouTube link below to view a few sterling photos of last year's crop of turtles, all found at The Coves or in the Thames River - within close walking distance of the Thames Valley Parkway.

One of my goals in 2024 is to find new basking sites where some
of London's turtles like to hang out

Another goal is to look at the prices of "the next size up"
for Zoom lenses for my camera. "Gotta get closer!"

Hmmm. And a kayak would be nice.
