Snapping Turtle

On Saturday Henri spotted his second snapping turtle this year. They come out of the lake around June or early July to dig a nest and lay their eggs. We keep a bit of distance to not disturb the turtle and avoid a painful bite (our cat Tommy once got bite under his jaw). Unfortunately on Sunday we found six broken turtle eggs near the neighbours so we think probably a raccoon or another small critter got into the nest.
