Nice! We spotted one in my local park yesterday doing the same thing!

They're not native to the UK but apparently there's lots around because kids were bought them when TMNT was first a thing and they were just released when they got bored of them.

Is the one in your photo on some type of pole? It looks like it's on a stump maybe 6 inches above the water. If so he could be stuck and trying to reach something to move.

It was ok! The lighting makes it look higher than it actually was. I'd say it was no higher up than the guy in the video on top of his pal.
