More unusual firsts

Somemore unusuals have occurred during midngiht patrols lately.

1. Startled mama: we found a trial of a green going back to sea, abruptly in the middle of digging her eggchamber and not fastenning her egg laying. The track looks like a bunny trial, with little clumpsof 2-4 eggs every 3 strokes from start to finish. We inspected and noticed it was quite fresh, and between the 5 patrollers covering the entire beah, we recovered and nested these huevitos de la mama asustadita. Hope they turn out ok, being a foster parent and all.

2. The temptermental tagger: ive conquered the tagging fear and feel pretty confident w the process now, and i come across this tagger last night while introducing one small mama into conservation that just wldnt have it. One tag, doesnt puncture thru tag nor the bottom layer of the turtles flipper. Remove, inspect and notivce a bent head. Weird. Again, weird, again.... Hmmm, "borja u try i think im being retarded." 7 tags later, and a resigned turtle mama we forfeit. Call the directosr, explain the sich, and we head back to the center for another tagger. Perfecion from then on. So we do know what we r doing! We blame the apparatus, but back at camp they rnt so cnvinced... The mystery on the tagger is still haunting us as well as la aleta mordisquiada - the hole punched flipper:/.

3. Ninja mosquitoes: not only do i have to bathe in repelant before going to bed, now under mybgarments before going out as well. My theory of the biting thru clothes mosquitoes was proven true. Im catching on to these little suckers! Altho my armament is running low.

4. The hitchhiking turtle: whilst following up tracks last night in search of the perfectly staged mama, we found one that took exit 19 out (off the beach into the vegetatn tourist path) This mama was on holiday! We saw a few bodypits started by her, but the rough path's sand wasnt going to work. Inshe goes thru the back path.... Now shes really lost. We cldnt find her and thoughtnthis meant poachers awaited her on the other side.... We leave the lonely up path and hope the morning patrollers will come with a happier conslusion. They did: apparently she was lost near exit 20-21 and then there was a clear flipped track of someone dragging her back to SEA. Poachers opposite. Once she was dragged to the cushiony sand, she was flipped back and she disorientedly went back to sea. Good luck next time.

:). Day off tonight. On day 4 of cleanse too. Me lemons were taken by workshoppers so i may have to stop today.
