A baby turtle who was washed across the Atlantic Ocean to Ireland, is heading home to the Azores.
Toby who is two-years-old, was found barely breathing along the Maharees peninsula in August, and was nursed back to health by staff at the Oceanworld Aquarium in Dingle.
Tonight Toby will take a TAP Air Portugal flight to begin his journey home.
