With wildlife sightings season on the horizon, we shine a spotlight on the most frequently recorded sea turtle species in UK and Irish waters – the leatherback.

The leatherback stands out among sea turtles with its remarkable ability to adapt and survive in our cooler waters, a trait that sets it apart from other reptiles. It's a species of unparalleled uniqueness, and we're incredibly lucky to have it as a regular visitor to our shores.

That'd be great to see, although, the wildlife I tend to see is washed up dead on the beach - a seal and a harbour porpoise.
