They usually wait until night

According to Prevention.com, the last time the sea turtles were seen crossing the sand in this manner was about seven years ago.

“The last time we saw daytime nesting of olive ridleys along this site was in 2013"

“Usually, they come on to the beach for nesting only during the night.” said Amlan Nayak, a local forest officer.

Officials believe that the turtles could have appeared in the day this year due to a lack of human activity on the beaches there.

Olive Ridley turtles are a type of sea turtle that lays their eggs in the winter or early spring.
