Reports From The Field Ultimate Seychelles
On the beach, the first thing we saw in the dim early light was a large female green turtle laying in the surf, and soon thereafter we watched another large female green turtle covering her just-laid eggs with sand. She worked hard, flinging sand with her powerful flippers in thumping strokes that we felt through the soles of our feet.
