115 hatchling was released on that night. The female Hawksbill came onshore about 8.45PM and laid 98 eggs. Lots of barnacles on her body which has been "killed". Cause barnacles are paratises that can kill them.

Interesting information
Awesome. What an amazing spotting, Bob. Congrats on your SOTW nomination.
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
Cute....
