Another 72 newborn turtles made their bid for freedom on Sunday night – Denia ‘supermum’ Diana’s eggs hatched on Les Albaranes beach under the watchful eyes of trained conservationists.

Diana’s other 89 eggs are expected to hatch in the next few weeks, since a turtle’s gestation period is around 60 days.
