Description: Phound and photoed by Alexander on my camera. Fotoed 'cos his camera stopped working. You should have heard the profanities! It was only afterwards that I asked him if he had switched off the 60 second delay that he had used for a self-portrait of himself sitting on the cliff edge in the steamy sunset that he was able to get it to behave. Luckily he had not smashed the camera to pieces yet. I kept the pictures!

Description: We came across this female tortoise digging a hole in the late afternoon. I snapped a couple of pics with a cheap phone, then dashed home for the camera, by which time the eggs were laid and the ground tamped down. We gently scraped away a little soil to photograph the eggs (just like pingpong balls). There was never any sign that they hatched/got eaten. Tortoise never seen again.
