Exactly 14 days ago we discovered Nest 9 on the lower end of the island and this morning we found Nest 10 down there too. Might just be the same mother; when the DNA results are in we will know for sure.
This new nest is half way between M1 and the entrance right in the middle of the beach. The tracks were easy to see even though it had rained on them. Looks like she came straight in; laid her nest and then went all around the beach on her way back to the ocean.

A ghost crab jumped out when Jackie was uncovering the eggs. A bit of a shock!
