It now seems a long time ago but here are some pictures of these fabulous beasts nesting in the early morning back in Ascension. Here in the Caribbean they have the even more impressive Leatherback turtles, the size of a small dinghy, but sadly they are few and far between and even more shy.
Covering the nest
Worn out
Down the beach
And back to the sea with G2 in the background
At home in the ocean
As is Gryphon 2, surrounded by Blackfish! |
