Turtle release.




With the wet season coming to an end we are receiving a large number of injured freshwater turtles. Most of these moved out into temporary swamps during the wet and now they are drying up are getting trapped. When they go looking for more permanent water they often fall foul of dogs or cars. We got to release half a dozen of these yesterday into a permanent paperbark swamp. They were very happy and so were we. Releasing animals is the best part of our work.
