Wildlife Rescue Team Malta shared a closer look of a turtle creating her nest on a Maltese beach.
This was the 5th nest to be located by activists and patrols, with Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) officials immediately arriving on site to secure the area.
‘It was an incredibly magical moment to witness the whole process, and the members of the public present on the beach were also invited to watch parts of the process through our night vision camera.’
‘They got to see the process from start to finish: how we stay away from the turtle, how we locate the nesting chamber and also how we check for the presence of microchips.’
The turtle also turned out to be the one that laid the first nest of the season at Golden Bay on Saturday 15th June.
‘We will now wait 2 months until we hopefully get to see the little hatchlings emerging from the nest.’
