One of the world's rarest turtle species , only found in the river that borders the north of our property .


In 2015 there was a virus outbreak amongst them , they numbered about four and a half thousand , in 3 months 90% of them where gone . I was finding dead or dying turtles along the river bank. A few years before, one could don some goggles and go for a dive and watch them underwater , or see them sunning themselves on rocks and logs .

They saved some and bred them at a zoo and released some into back into the river , but I doubt they will ever recover .

Can't help but think about the Asterix cartoons when I see anything to do with the Roman Empire :)
