Observation details

The lone godwit appeared stuck. However, on watching, we saw a very large turtle come up to breath with the godwits leg clamped in it's mouth. We'd seen another turtle swimming and dragging a dead bird (appeared to be duck) by the leg. A sad moment. There seem to be a lot of LARGE turtle in that pond.
