I never knew what the collective noun was for terrapins or turtles. Apparently it is a bale.
On Thursday 19th there was a bale of at least 8 terrapin, basking on the bank of the lake. Viewed distantly, all the larger ones appeared to be Red-Eared Terrapin. There were several smaller ones too. Do these breed in the wild here when released?

A Bank Vole today was collecting grasses and taking them in to a habitat pile of cuttings
