The nesting season on Waties Island has been a little slow this summer but it could be that things are changing: we found a nest this morning up at the jetty and the top of the island. The crawl started right next to the rocks and her first nest attempt was on top of rocks. That didn't work, so down the beach she went to try again. Again no luck there so a little further down the beach and she finally found a spot she liked.
Not the best spot for a nest

But there was a better spot just down the beach

Looks like there is something on her plastron - see the drag mark?
