Just Being Neighborly?

I am trying to decide whether this turtle is just engaged in some neighborly talk, or whether it is registering a complaint. What do you think? Another scene from Delta Ponds.

Looks like a complaint to me.

Vern,when I was in Portugal I saw a pond with lots of turtles and they occupied places where no ducks were allowed.So be shure this is complaint.

Extremely nice capture, Vern...

Reminds me of my neighbors !

Not the friendliest of turtles, but a very nice shot of him confronting the lovely Mallard!
Hank Vander Velde04-Nov-2016 12:15
I vote for "complaint". Well captured Vern.
Roger Bailey04-Nov-2016 11:29
It seems there is only room for three turtles, but the Mallard does not seem to know.

Quite a conversation going there.... would like to listen in! Marvellous capture! V

looks not so friendly....great find and capture.V.

Pretty sure it's telling the duck to find it's own resting spot, well caught.
Laura Milholland04-Nov-2016 03:57
I think he's telling the third turtle to bite the duck's backside! ;) Very fun and well timed shot, Vern.

I say complaint!

He looks vicious, good shot Vern!
globalgadabout04-Nov-2016 02:59
likely a strong claim for personal space, and the mallard drake seems to take note...certainly an engaging encounter well caught..
Julie Oldfield04-Nov-2016 02:49
Not sure about that, but it's a fantastic capture. Well detailed. V
