Here are a couple of snaps from Sierra Leone earlier this year. A Green Turtle had become stranded on Lumley Beach in Freetown. Construction is slowly swallowing up the breeding sites, meaning that these beautiful creatures ending up trying to lay their eggs in the middle of busy tourist beaches, as these are often the only clear stretches of sand left. This one was a heavy specimen, but a young chap made light work of flipping it on its back (cue: unimpressed reptile) and then safely placing her back down in the water.
The other is from a remote island in the South called Chepo, where lack of refrigeration means that fish are still preserved through smoking in (bloody hot!) straw huts.
