On the opposite bank, European pond terrapins are basking in the sun and, behind them, a herd of horses is grazing, preventing the scrub from taking over the grasslands.

Both are common, really common, and both are essentially indistinguishable in non-breeding plumage. One interesting experience here was finding a baby terrapin on the road and picking it up to move it only for peter to call out a Common Iora , one of my two lifer families of the day. Next we drove to the local bird breeding centre.
