Yesterday we saw these #Caretta #Seaturtle nests surrounded by conservationists. This species is protected by #CITES. The female turtles lay their eggs in concrete sandy beaches, where after 50-75 days of incubation, small #Turtles hatch and crawl across the sand to reach the water. The females lay several clutches, each containing between 23 and 178 eggs. We were surprised, as the eggs were located in the immediate vicinity of sunbeds & parasols.

@theappletree We were a bit surprised that Dorotka, our regular visitor, decided to make her nest so close to the house that is still under construction.
