Was the Tortoise really small or that Snail shell (bottom right) bloody huge ?? Yes it was a young tortoise about 80 mm x 55mm but you do have to beware the deadly Spanish killer snails. The tortoises actually eat the snail shells to build up their calcium intake, about 8 weeks after these were taken they aestivate which is the summer hibernation as it is too hot and dry.They will come out if there is substantial rain but normally reappear around September.The tortoise needs UV to enable its metabolism to create calcium for bone development etc. Their diet is mainly weeds (which also contain calcium) not lettuce fruit tomatoes and cucumber,they do love eating flowers maybe because of the nectar. oops went off on one a bit there.

Anything unusual about it because the tortoises wouldn't touch it and it had been very dry so they were hungry.

And the yellow flower in the second photo is Pallenis spinosa, or at least a diminutive form of it ooooooher !

Went to a nature reserve in Spain (Murcia) ,where they preserve the natural beaches and mountains no buildings for miles except the odd old farmhouse.A couple of photos but saw loads of lizards about 2 ft long but they are wary as ought so couldn't get a photo.The second one is of wildlife i'm still able to keep up with .There were also some lakes with waterfoul etc. Saw a large bird of prey ,Hoopoos and a small greyish brown bird with a pointed beak that was singing its little heart out. Edited as just worked out how to load Photo's properly
