Het seizoen start officieel pas op 1 juli maar de schildpadden trekken zich daar gelukkig weinig van aan en waren in grote getale aanwezig deze avond. We hebben er wel een stuk of zeven gezien op het kleine stukje waar wij zijn geweest. De schildpadden komen zo vanaf een uur of zes, zeven aan land.
