A surprise visit from la tortue (turtle)

A surprise visit last night from la tortue (turtle). It was just walking around the top of our garden and then made its way to the river. We have no idea where it came from? It was seen this morning on the river bank, so all is good. Every day here is an adventure!

We found out that this turtle is a turtle from Florida. This aquatic species was imported from the United States in the years 80-90. ( La tortue est une tortue de Floride. Cette espèce aquatique a été importée des Etats-Unis dans les années 80- 90.  Elle est en concurrence avec les espèces européennes.)
