Terrapins discovered in Bushy Park are believed to have been emptied from a home aquarium.

Two have been spotted over the last few weeks, one in the Water Gardens and one in the Heron Pond.

Royal Parks says introducing Terrapins can upset the parks’ delicate ecosystems and they have been known to decimate pond life. 

A new home is now being sought for the pair.
