Walking up the road very long, Par 5 seventh hole fairway, Vickey suddenly stopped in her tracks and swooped up this little creature. It was definitely newly hatched and it had to be on its search for its water-home. This is the most dangerous part of the new-born's journey, and this little one was unlikely to have made it. Vickey took it to the pond and slowly lowered it in -- and was gratified to see him start swimming strongly away. Loved its long tail!
Thanks for your kind comments on my recent sunset, and for putting my rock critters on TT this week.
For size, the turtle is on Vickey's glove, no bigger than the width of 2 fingers.
Well done to Vickey. A beautiful little guy just starting life. These last years turtles have started again to come back on our beaches to lay their eggs. The eggs are supervised against poachers or other intruders until they hatch and race to the sea.
Cute little snapper and very observant to have seen it.
All good here Taffy. Our daughter and family in London are doing it fairly tough though with all of the Covid restrictions etc but so far they are fine.
was happy to be in the water again.
