Hawksbill Turtle

The Hawksbill Turtle is listed as critically endangered.

I entered this image into the 2012 ANZANG competition and placed as a finalist. It is published in the ANZANG ninth collection book. Australian Geographic have recently asked me to send them a copy of the image for a new book celebrating their association with ANZANG and the first 10 years of ANZANG.

This is the write up I supplied for the book - ""It was a long drive from Canberra to South West Rocks for the weekend. I had hoped to capture Grey Nurse Sharks (Carcharias taurus) in the entrance of Fish Rock Cave, but they were in the deeper gutters. For the last dive of the weekend I decided to take it easy and sit in the shallow end of the cave. Early into the dive I was greeted by this Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata).
