Waties Island Nest Count

Over the Dunes!

Busy morning on the island with a false crawl and a nest: The nest was just below Marker 6 but the problem was that the mother turtle went up and over the crest of the dune. Not what we wanted to see.

So the relocation process started. A pretty big nest - 142 eggs in all.



Found it!

Starting the move - 142 eggs were laid in the nest



Lots of eggs in there

Going into a new nest on the front side of the dunes

Careful work

Happiness :)



Almost finished

 Then there was the false crawl - maybe this mother will return tonight to lay. We'll see tomorrow...
