User's notes

Two Turtles seen at Dickson Wetland this evening. This turtle was on eastern side, near path (being used by dogwalkers, cyclists, walkers). After only a few minutes, it put out its head, turned around and lumbered down to waters edge, going down a rock-ramp of stones and safely into the water. The other turtle (no photo) was on the grassland near the pagoda on the western side. There is no suitable nesting habitat nearby.
