An Olive Ridley turtle digs in the sand to lay its eggs on Rushikulya beach, about 140 kilometres (88 miles) south west of Bhubaneshwar, on early March 17, 2010. Thousands of Olive Ridley sea turtles started to come ashore over the last two days from the Bay of Bengal to lay their eggs on the beach at Rushikulya, one of the three mass nesting sites in the Indian coastal state of Orissa.
