I was very happy that my good old friend, Sarah wanted to come to Kerteh for a weekend with turtle. I was at my hometown when she called, so I had to changed my plan - go back to Kerteh earlier and leave my cats at home! They arrived in Kerteh around 7pm on Saturday 3 May. We had our dinner and then headed to Ma'Daerah.
When we arrived there, the ranger told us there were 5 turtles about to nest at different spots. So, I drove the Nissan Frontier straight to one of the spots with dimmed light. On our way, we bumped into two wild boars (perhap mother and daughter ) running across our vehicle. Sarah was stunned - she never thought we would came across that incident!
Two turtles already finished depositing their eggs and were camouflaging the nests, as we arrived. Both Sarah and Zam were very helpful. I taught Sarah how to...
...write data on the form and chase the turtle away... (just kidding!)
...dig the egg chamber...
..and got tired of searching the wrong spot...
...smile infront of the camera ...
...arrange the eggs for easy counting...
...place the eggs in the bucket gently...
...bury the eggs in the egg chamber in the hatchery...
\
...do it the right way - lie down on the sand rather than tonggeng2...
I'm sure they had a wonderful time. Datanglah lagi!
