The first of the olive ridley turtles arriving en masse at Ostional Beach in Costa Rica. When the arribada (arrival) is in full swing, the beach will be covered, shell to shell, with turtles, who have come ashore to lay their eggs in one of the animal kingdom's most amazing examples of mass reproduction.
