It’s That Time Again!

Turtle time!

[Diana]

I have no idea what it means 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Desi]

Oh wonderful. I am assumng this is to protect the turtle eggs?

[Merrelyn]

I've never seen this before. Do people monitor the nests?

[Annie-Sue]

I couldn't think what it was protecting!

@ludwigsdiana @seacreature @merrelyn @anniesue Turtle “nests”. They are dotted all around Manning Park. It’s amazing how far from the lake they travel to lay their eggs. They started monitoring last year. I never saw any eggs hatch, though yesterday I saw some crows attacking a nest so that could have something to do with it 😕

@narayani You have just given me another reason reason to dislike those awful birds.

[narayani]

@merrelyn yes…I was tempted to shoo them away but didn’t. I went off them when I worked at Rottnest and saw them attacking baby quokkas 😭
