looking at the Those are excellent photos Paul. I had only been able to see them (for me, at least 2 years now) and only sporadically, with or without binnoculors, and not always both together. I knew one was a Slider and now, as your photo show, with red markings on both of their heads, it appears that both are Red-eared Sliders. Oh well. They have certainly grown to quite a size anyway!
