My neighbours found him on the road and brought him to the pond--and named him Alvin. He seemed to enjoy swimming all the way round the pond, and I later saw him diving really deep and soaring with the fish.
But I think he may be an Eastern Box Turtle, and they are not purely aquatic, so I have put some more rocks into the shallow part of the pond so that he has somewhere to sit in the dry. (All the shallow part of the pond will be dry again by morning--it's still leaking from the waterfall--so he'll be fine. And he might be another species of turtle that is fully aquatic anyway.)
Can anyone help identify Alvin please?
(Alvin reminds me, Al's real name is Alvin, Al, where are you now?)
