I don’t take much video when in the field but I’m going to make an effort to start shooting more. I have a lot to learn about video editing and this clip is very flat compared to stills that I took at the same time. As for now, however, it’ll have to do. This leatherback got to the beach late and was still attempting to lay eggs when the sun came up. She also didn’t get high enough onto the beach to give her eggs a chance. As you can see the surf was reaching the ditch that she dug and the tide will almost certainly wash away any eggs she was able to bury. Nikon D810 with Sigma 15mm fisheye lens
Nice, Sean! I have taken very few videos and keep thinking as I observe nature that I, too, should be doing more video. You have remarkable footage in this piece. I like it!

Turtle on a quiet beach
Paused by pixelation
And lo its alive
The leatherback turtle pictures make me nervous. What an arduous, risky process.
Wow! I like that you’re taking on video too. So sad for that mother though.
