Excavation tonight at Alagadi.

Dear Turtle Followers

After a long silence on the blog long due a really hectic few days, Collsy has remembered to update the blog through me, Josh. We have a public excavation tonight! All you have to do is turn up at our base at The Goat Shed, in Alagadi, at 6.30pm or just before. It should take about an hour to an hour and half, everyone is welcome and we welcome cameras and camcorders but the flash must be turned off, so as to not damage the hatchlings sensitive vision.

Hopefully see you tonight

Excavatıon on today at 18:30

Celebrate and lets excavate!

Hello turtle lovers!

Sorry about the slight delay in this latest blog entry, but we DO have an excavation this evening at 18.30. As usual meet at our base, the Goat Shed, in Alagadi village and we will all walk down to the excavation site together.

There will be lots to see tonight, as we have plenty of hatchlings to release from a couple of morning excavations and as well as some stragglers from the tail end of the night work we carry out.

Please bring water as it can be quite hot and the whole excavation can last for up to 1 hour 30 minutes. I would also like to remind people not to use flash photography as it will be the hatchings first time at seeing light, and we don’t want to damage the little beasties eyes!

Catch you later,

Samuel

Good morning one and all,

I am glad to announce to all the world that we do have another excavation on this evening, and after all the loggerhead excavations, we have another green nest to excavate...how exciting!

As always (you know the form by now) we get everyone to meet at the Goat shed for 6:30pm where volunteers will take you down to the nest after this time.

Sorry Turtle Followers there is an excavation on!

Good morning turtle followers,

after a prompt update with the blog yesterday morning, I have let myself down today. We do however have an excavation on this evening, and I therefore invite everyone and anyone to come and join the volunteers in excavating the nest. The nest we are excavating today is a Green, and is our first Green pubic excavation so it is well worth a watch - although we can not guarantee there will be many hatchlings remaining in the nest as it has been hatching over the last 4 days, we do have hatchlings from Alagadi to release from this morning.

We do however ask that during the excavation , no flash photography, as not only does it show how dirty the volunteers really are, but it is also the first time these hatchlings have seen light, and the intensity could impair their sight.

We hope to see many of you there tonight, just as before, turn up at the Goat shed for 6:30pm and we will take you down to the nest from there.

Hope to see you there

Excavation for the Nation to Night!!!

Good morning turtle followers,
After a quick morning on the beach, I have managed to remember the blog, and have posted a nice early blog stating that yes we do have an excavation on this morning. The nest is on bay three, and is Loggerhead nest.

All those are welcome to come view the volunteers expert digging skills to hunt out the nest, and release any babies that are found that night.

We do ask though, no flash photography when the first hatchlings emerge, as the light is the first light the babies have seen, and it can damage their eyes. Sorry for the nag but it it is important. We will have volunteers walking around the nest with hatchlings for close up pictures.

We hope you can all make it, if not and you still wish to see an excavation, please call me on 05338678188 after 9:30, and i will be able to tell you whether there is going to be an excavation.

Hope to see you this evening
Collsyxxx
