Taking a closer look

Lady Elliot Island in Australia has a large population of turtles of various species and is a breeding site for a number of these. The turtles here are completely unperturbed by human presence and are a joy to swim with. This Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) was enjoying munching on the algae overgrowing some dead coral when it spotted reflections in my dome and swam over to have a closer look.
