Turtle Tracks

I have been volunteering to help the Sea Turtle Monitoring Network here on St. Kitts, so every Thursday morning, I walk one of the beaches at 6am looking for struggling baby turtles that may have hatched the night before and haven't made it to the water. So far, no baby turtles to assist yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I get to see at least one before nesting season is over.

Here are a few pictures I have taken on those Thursday mornings:

And a cute little speckled egg, which belongs to the seabirds that nest on that beach
