    Oh my cuteness

    December 22, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We have been waiting a long time for this and it finally happened!

    We only arrived in Port Hedland yesterday and I told everyone to get ready we are getting up early to find some turtle hatchlings.

    We all got up 5am, Lachlan actually sprung out of bed with excitement and we headed down to Cemetery Beach.

    It was not long and I spotted some hatchling tracks, we followed them back to it’s nest and when we looked in we saw 1 baby turtle resting.

    We sat there for almost 3 hours waiting for this little turtle to be ready to finish his journey and finally he emerged. It was the cutest thing we have ever seen. We followed the hatchling all the way down to the water.

    While we were watching this special fella, we saw some seagulls going nuts and then we realised they were taking off with another hatchling 😢. We all ran down the beach yelling and flapping our arms, the bird dropped it back into the rock pools. We checked on the hatchling and it was ok, thank goodness.

    Yeay, turtle babies. Can’t wait to do this every morning 🤗🤗🤗🤗
