From what you say, it must make it more difficult for her to dig out the nest hole and then recover her eggs with a missing hind foot Jim, and I wonder how she gets on with her swimming too. I can only think a front limb would be worse than a hind. Anyway, nice to see she accomplished her mission!

Jim, beautiful morning light on this hard-working female who must be exhausted but determined to get back to sea. Thought-provoking image of the next generation to come, a lovely story-telling image.

Lovely light on her. I like your perspective which lets us see the tracks she's left as she makes her way back to the water.
