I started to call this a small crop of turtles, but thought I might as well see what a group is called....and 'bale' is what popped up when I googled it.
This little guy was out by itself...
And I just managed to capture this one...the others that were there slid into the backwater before I could snap any more.

Well, now I've learned something new. I had no idea what a group of turtles was called.You got some good pictures of these.
I too learned something new. Devi taught us a group of crows were called a murder and now your tell us turtles are a bale. Interesting.
Great pictures of these guys! And I learned a new word as well. Who knew...
It is so great that you can see these scenes in real life. It is so great you can capture them and share them with us.
What a fabulous subject and your photos are just wonderful!
Not something we have here but I have seen turtles in the wild and in a animal park and it make me smile to see them so close together in the syn
Lovely little creatures. Nothing baleful about them at all!
I confess to wondering about what a turle might be---AH but then came your perfecdt pictures of these guys. A murder of turtles? Naaaa A flock of turtles? Nope. A gaggle of Turtles? No way. A tumult of turtles? Maybe. In the meantime, A bale works just fine!
Lindas e bem apanhadas.
Um abraço e boa semana.

I didn't know that a group of turtles were called a bale. You learn something new every day.
The pictures turned out fantastic!!
Thanks for teaching me something I didn't know. You got good pictures of the bale.
Good Pic. The last house my daughter rented was on a small drainage pond. We loved seeing the turtles sitting on a fallen tree. Such a simple and relaxing thing to do!
