Laying very early in the morning after abandoning many nests she'd previously dug herself. Part of a turtle conservation,monitoring and protection programme. She was tagged, microchipped and measured during a night patrol walk at the top of a 14km beach.

This looks like a really awesome encounter - I'm sure the community would love to learn about it so please can you provide some details in the notes.
Please can you also crop the image so that it is focused entirely on the turtle as we request that humans do not feature in spottings as far as possible.
Thanks & welcome to Project Noah bozzy!
