Set me Free.
 

We went to a controlled release this afternoon of a couple of dozen flatback turtles into the wild.

Eggs are rescued from nests, allowed to hatch in safety and released by our Conservation Commission. The release itself is a time of joy for the kids.

It was not as miserable as it looked, about 25C just before sunset.

Oh, Yay! Happy, happy, joy, joy! *dances*

Yeah, my favorite part of being a wildlife rehabilitator is releasing the animals back into the wild after they're healthy again.

Glad you were participating in this program, OF.

Did they look like little wind-up toys as they were making their way to the water? That's how it always looks to me when I see the mad dash on the nature shows...it must be a real treat to see it in person.

So cool... way to go OF!
