I'm not sure if this really qualifies as Wildlife in the garden as tortoises are not native to Cyprus.
Our daughter teaches in a Private Secondary School in Limassol and a few years ago several of her pupils, for reasons known only to themselves, decided it would be 'cool' to have a tortoise. This craze, as they so often are, was very short-lived. In the case of one boy only as long as it took to find out that his new aquisition didn't swim when thrown into the pond. Apparently what he had really wanted was a turtle. Anyway, children soon began to turn up at school looking to re-house their, now, unwanted guests and threatening to let them loose or throw them into the nearest skip if unsuccessful. My daughter rescued 4 that, inevitably, ended up becoming 'Dad's' problem. I built a compound for them at the top of our field/garden. I had no idea how to determine the gender of tortoises but observation of their behaviour pointed to there being 2 of each sex. A couple of years went by until one day I spotted what appeared to be a pebble sprout legs and walk off. It was, of course, a baby tortoise about the size of a 2 euro coin. Since then we have over the years found eggs and another 5 or 6 babies.
The photo shows the latest, found just this week, alongside an egg that was left exposed. I took David's advice this time and used a 2 euro coin for size comparison.
