Dear Barbados Free Press,
I spotted this leatherback turtle nesting along the east coast at the end of May. The sighting drew a large crowd of both locals and visitors. It is a very rare occurrence to see them nesting and even rarer to see them nesting during the day. I thought you might enjoy these pictures for your publication.

holy cow look at the SIZE of that lady! (the turtle!!) She’s lovely, must be a 100 years old 🙂
Wow! Nature at its most awesome!
Whoever kills and eats these animals should be locked up!
I have witnessed this back in the 80’s with my husband. We had to beg for the turtle’s life. Some local young boys wanted to cut her up.
Young girl,
It hasn’t stopped.
