This four-legged creature was spotted basking in the river in Twickenham last week.

Anja Weise-O'Connor, from Whitton, was walking past the River Crane at Kneller Gardens when she mistook a turtle for a twig on June 22.

Delighted with her find, Ms Weise-O'Connor said: "I was thinking that twig looks off it looks like a turtle and it turns out I was right.

"Maybe it escaped or has been set loose I am not sure but it certainly seemed well."
