I’ve seen this little turtle a couple of times recently and realized it wasn’t one of the usual Hawaiian Green Turtles seen around here. The pointed bill is clear from above, and the edge of the shell is jagged, not curvy. These are both clear indicators that this is a Hawksbill Turtle. I think I’ve only seen one in this area before, but perhaps this one will stick around.

Good photo Graham. It would be interesting to know if there’s only one.

I think turtles tend to be solitary creatures.

Be good to have a distinguishing feature so you know if there is more around

It’s not a dramatic difference, but when you see turtles a lot it kind of stands out.

It was a small but speedy turtle, but I kept up with it for a while.
