We *holidayed* on a hatchling island, hundreds of the little cuties are hatched out, but only a percentage of them make it to the ocean and then only a few will make it to breeding age.

When you are volunteering on the island, you are under strict instruction NOT to assist the babies in any way.

Its awful to watch them get stuck in a rock pool or something and not be able help.

Sometimes gulls get them or they just get too hot.

Its a bit like the wild life film crews arent to help any animals that they are filming.
