WHILE NMB STP BRIARCLIFFE TUESDAY WALKERS ARE OUT WALKING AT SUNRISE ON
THIS BEAUTIFUL TUESDAY MORNING LOOKING FOR ANY POTENTIAL SEA TURTLE
CRAWLS OR BODY PITS. WHAT AN EXCITING DAY, THEY COME UPON A NICE CRAWL.
CLAIRE AND BOB HAVE FOUND A CRAWL
NMB STP VOLUNTEERS CINDY, CHERI AND LINDA SOON ARRIVE
YES A NICE BODY PIT!!!
CHERI PROBED AND FOUND THE NEST!
CLAIRE CAREFULLY DUG DOWN TO THE NEST
AND YES EGGS ARE FOUND
This Sea Turtle has found the perfect spot to nest, Briarcliffe is a beautiful quiet
beach with no lights shining on the beach. This nest will stay as it is, in situ. One
egg was taken for DNA testing. The Poles are put around the nest and marked.
