Turtle Island

Nesting turtle (postcard)	Laying eggs (postcard)	Laying eggs (postcard)	The ranger shines his light on the eggs
She laid 60 eggs	Turtle returning to the sea (postcard)	The eggs are moved to a hole in the hatchery	Jackie holding a precious egg
Hatchery	The wire is to protect against lizards & birds eating the eggs	A little hatchling has come to the surface	Some of the hatchlings
Jackie holding a little hatchling	Peter holding a little hatchling	Their flippers keep moving	They are strong little things
We watch as the hatchlings are set free	Running for the sea (postcard)	Run Forrest, Run (postcard)	Cute hatchling (postcard)
Piles of hatchlings (postcard)	A turtle's tracks up the beach	Info centre - eggs buried in the sand	Hatchlings making their way to the surface
The small boat that brought us to the island	Snorkelling from the beach	The Philippines - a swim away	Cabins in amongst the trees
Hibiscus	Big cricket	It's hungry	Practising with the macro lens again
