Its turtle breeding season on the island. Its great to see them actually increasing in numbers.
Theres a sanctuary about an hour away that protects the turtle nests, and excavates them and hatches the eggs in ideal conditions. I've been several times with the grandkids to release the baby turtles. They are so small that when I hold one with the first two fingers underneath and a thumb on top, the flippers scrape both my fingers. Currently only one in nine hundred make it back to breed.
So I made a box. About 9 inch long, 3 inch high. beech with a walnut shell (hah!)
