Jonathan: Up close and personal.

I posted here about our first visit to Jonathan. Since January he has been given extra protection. You now have to stay behind a fence at the edge of his paddock and hope he, or one of his gals, deigns to come near you. When we took J's Mum we were very lucky indeed and I thought you'd like to see...

Can you see him trying to hide behind the tree?

You can tell it is Jonathan rather than one of the gals by the lichen on the back of his shell...

J took most of these pics and also these two little video clips...

How completely cool is he?
