Another season filled with much excitement, enthusiasm but some heartbreaking moments
as well. Tracks, nests and encounters....... these are all I have in mind
whenever we are going out for the turtle walks! ....... This is every day
except for the weekends. The numbers of patrols have increased as we have now
included Tuesdays and Thursdays for anti – poaching patrols. This was decided a
must after recording such a significant number of poaching incidents in the
South of the island.
So much
happening in so little time...... one day we save a turtle which was left
upside down by poachers for later collection..... but we got there first.........
Then the next few days we find this........
We have had some really great moments as well, the little ones are coming out and you can imagine our excitement especially while finding this........ A little loner while digging up a nest for the egg clutch survival data....fortunately it was still full of life and managed to make it’s imprints on the beach before successfully entering the sea.
....... Good luck little one!
