Woaw!!! 👍💕👍
Good one isn’t it!! Have a lovely Easter…. XXXMarie
Same to you!
How wonderful! We saw a turtle there covering her nest but were too late to see the actual laying. We also saw a cute hatchling but I would have loved to see this!
Isn’t it a great place Sarah – a wonderful experience …. Happy Easter to you and yours.. XXXMarie
What a privilege to have seen this, and photographed it too!
Absolutely!! That sums it up. Happy Easter. XXXMarie

The whole ritual was astonishing to witness – we were very lucky. Have a great weekend Aiva. XXXMarie
Amazing! 😊
It is indeed – she then spends hours covering them and try to put predators off the scent… it’s a lot of hard work!
wow!
👍 👍
I got to watch that in Oman too – I know why it’s a favourite. An amazing sight
It’s a great place isn’t it – worth the effort to get there…. Have a lovely Easter Debbie XXXMarie
cool — this is something I have never seen
An extraordinary story – only about 2 in every 1000 eggs make it to adulthood. When the babies hatch and and make their way to the ocean, the males never return but the females reappear after about 26 YEARS to lay their eggs on the same beach!
26 years! And what a dismal rate of success 2 in 1000.
Very few of them actually make it across to the water even. The night we were there, the whole shoreline was lined with crabs ready to pounce!
