Nest??

I checked Alagadi this morning and found a green activity on Alagadi 2. Innitially I was certain that this was a nest, but on further inspection and after probing the sand with a stick for half an hour and working up a blister, I found no eggs so recorded this as an attempt. The same female as the previous night last night on A1 I am certain as all of the tracks I measured were between 73 and 75cm. This is the span between the marks left by the hind flippers as the turtle pushes itself along the sand.

Off to the South (Greek) side of the island today to see a friend who works down there as a teacher. Making the most of my free time before things get busy.
