    Hi there, thanks for browsing my post.
    This Summer I visited Kiev Ukraine. Since that I've been wandering which kind of turtles they are.

    Turtles in the pond are about 20 - 30cm each, mostly look like this.

    details

    First I thought they are European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), but their body markings aren't look so clear... or, perhaps they are just old, then simply the pattern became dull ???
    I have lack of knowledge about aquatic turtles to be honest.
    Any ideas from experienced folks are very welcome.

    Indeed those are European pond turtles (Emys orbicularis).
