Background

This was our seventh satellite female of the season, so the volunteers were all keen to lend a hand with the attachment as it could be the last of the year. It was a busy night on the beach with 5 green nests and 5 other activities. This satellite green laid one clutch at Alagadi in 2003 and four in 2007, and this was her fourth and final nest here this season. We were expecting her as she had been up on the beach twice the night before looking for a suitable spot to nest. She was named Furmage by a lucky turtle sponsor.
