The Mastbos where this picture was taken.
I would consider one of my favourite spot for nature photography.

This freshwater turtle ( yellow-bellied slider ) can be found or seen in this pond.
To my knowledge, there are only two turtles.

'De Kogelvanger' ( WS2 ) is a piece of plain as ' wet nature'.
To protect the 'vulnerable' nature, people are not allowed to step into this plain.

At the same spot , the Grey Heron is on the lookout for fish ( WS1 ).
I was surprised that this Grey Heron is not afraid of humans.
Perhaps this bird has learned to trust people.

Thanks for your time.

As you can see, the turtle is basking on a log.

The Grey Heron is at the end of the path ( right ) where the people are.

Behind the pine trees , is 'De Kogelvanger '.

Full concentration ... and fully aware of me , being very close.
