When on holiday in Turkey, we visited Dalyan which is famous for its Caretta caretta (Loggerhead turtles to you or me!).
We went for a boat trip and we stopped midstream and then the turtles were lured to the boat using crab on a string!
Open wide!
Open wider!!
Perseverance Mr. C Caretta!
Now don’t sulk!!
And this is where Mr. C Caretta finally got hold of the crab!!
But you’re probably wondering where the ‘Extra’ bit is…..
Well it’s in the last photo where I believe that Mr. C Caretta is……
….blowing a ‘nerny nerny nerny’ bubble at us!!!

Great action shot my goodness!!!
Thank you 🙂
Wow, what a series! Great capture.
Thank you 🙂
I will very happily ‘like’ this if the only reason was to exhibit them to you crass tourists: but the sight of a crab on a line by way of temptation is somewhat offputting. Thank heavens for your marvellous photography, Lizzie ! 🙂
I guess you just have to think they’re getting their dinner in a takeaway rather than going to hunt for it. Either way they get their dinner. They seemed happy enough and I enjoyed photographing yh 🙂
Fine by me then ! 😀
That’s a big turtle! Very cool.
