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.

| 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...
