Myrtle the Turtle was found off Guernsey in February
|
Guernsey's adopted turtle, Myrtle, has been declared fit enough to be released into waters off Gran Canaria.
The turtle was discovered in local waters in February, hundreds of miles from her native home.
She was rescued by the GSPCA, who arranged for special tests to be carried out to try and find out exactly where she came from.
She was then transported to the Canaries, where specialist vets monitored her progress before releasing her last Friday.
Myrtle was quite weak when she was rescued off the Guernsey coast and had to be nursed back to health by members of the GSPCA, before she was declared fit to travel.
