Always such a sad sight.

I hate seeing this - it's a turtle's nest which has been found, the eggs dug up and eaten by a fox. We see virtually no baby turtles in the dams and it's nearly impossible to stop the foxes.

Aw, that is sad. You have turtles though? Wow, that's fabulous.

@casablanca They are fairly common around here - probably should call them tortoises rather than turtles! They have feet with claws rather than flippers.That's how they dig the holes for their eggs- sometimes rather a long way from the dam! Cheers Rob

That is sad- but it is also the way of nature.

@olivetreeann @dkbarnett @louisanoffke @taffy Thank you Ann, Delwyn, Sapphire and Taffy. Sorry to be so long replying - unexpected things have been happening. I would love to be able to get rid of the foxes - but they truly are as cunning as they are renowned to be!! We're going to try covering any nest that we can find - see if that helps. Thanks for your interest. Cheers Rob
