First record of the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle, Lepidochelys olivacea (Eschscholtz, 1829), in the Azores Islands, northeastern Atlantic Ocean (Testudines, Cheloniidae)

While on their way northwestwards to D. João de Castro Bank in the Portuguese Azores Islands for diving and birdwatching on 9 October 2020, occupants of a rib boat from the Best Spot Azores Dive Center (São Miguel Island, Azores), spotted a sea turtle with a bird on top of its carapace, at a position halfway between Ponta dos Mosteiros on São Miguel Island and the bank (37.9676°N, 26.1671°W; Fig. 1). The bird was identified as a Common Tern (Sterna hirundo Linnaeus, 1758) and photos were taken.
