On an early morning walk around Bibra Lake on Sunday I was pleased to discover the simple but beautiful depiction of the southwestern long neck turtle endemic to this part of WA. As part of the preservation program for the long-neck turtles the City of Cockburn have installed several nesting cages along the fringe of the lake to help protect the threatened reptiles from their many predators. I did see the cages along the walk wish I had taken some pics. Check out the short video of the turtles at Bibra Lake HERE, would love to see one, they're kinda cute :) Take care and stay safe..

...sometimes it pays to stick your neck out!
ReplyDeleteThis is really nicely done, Grace!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mural, love the bright colour of the turtle and the flowers. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Grace.
ReplyDeleteCute mural too!
ReplyDeleteThat is delightful!
ReplyDeleteNice, but disappointingly I noticed in real life they are not blue. Their necks are extraordinarily long and how clumsy they look when walking.
ReplyDeleteThat is well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mural
ReplyDeleteLovely bright mural! x
ReplyDeleteI love the mural and I like the idea of the nesting cages. Hope they do well from those.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joyful scene and betting all those long necked turtles are in agreement too!
ReplyDeleteI never knew that such an animal existed and what a curious beast it is. Glad to hear they're receiving some help and protection.
ReplyDeleteThats a unusual turtle. Wonder if its neck fits under its shield . Must be a reason for its long neck but very interesting and worth to preserve it for the future.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering the same as s.c., Grace... But it´s a beautiful mural :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a most unusual reptile, Grace. However, I was delighted to read your city is trying to protect them. And so nice to see the lovely mural, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine looking mural with the turtle and all those bright flowers.
ReplyDeleteWith some pretty flowers
ReplyDeleteA lovely mural, I do like the turtle :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
