It has taken 43 nights to go from 200 nests to a mighty ... 230.
In this time we have had and extra 7 turtles come to shore. With 10 days to go, we are stuck on 230 nests and 63 turtles. This is the lowest tally in the last 5 years.
We are expecting 5 turtles over the next 10 days, so we may reach a mighty 235 nests by the end of the season!
How ironic is it that on the patrol that followed my typing this, we had a turtle come up... and nest!
Shark bait is the name, and we have 231 nests!
