TerrapinDundee, aka Mike Hatch.

I got the nickname after catching 9 of the little blighters (Red Eared Terrapins & Red Bellied Sliders) from a pond in a local park that I help to run with a group of volunteers. I also got quite a bit of leg pulling about "rubber gear", having donned waders and boots so many times in the efforts to catch them.

The group is The Friends of Brickfields Country Park, The Park - Brickfields Country Park - possibly the smallest Country Park in the Uk at 13 acres. Website for the park is - http://www.brickfieldspark.org - have a look, enjoy what is possibly the smallest country park in the UK.
