A hiker walking through the Fomm ir-Riħ area in Mġarr has shared images of a dead turtle he came across.

“I was a bit shocked since it was quite big and it looked like it had been there for a while,” Nick Pace told Lovin Malta after making the grisly discovery.

The turtle, which is decomposing, was found at around 2.30pm on Wednesday washed up on the coast.

Besides the initial shock of the find, Pace was surprised at the size of the specimen.
