DB's first vegie crop !  Yum !

Christmas on NKA all feathered up !












 
11 Jan 2012 at Sarina Beach with Fran preparing the nest site.
And so it begins as we watch the
sand grains funnel downwards
as the hatchlings emerge.
And here comes the first one!





Woohoo, here they come !

Wow they are rather strong !

Amazing, incredible, wow !

Yahoo, Welcome to the world little one !

Now we try to count them ??

So beautiful 



And they're off !


We guide them to the ocean with a corridor
of feet.

Some need a lift on such a low tide!

And what a mission - but they make  it, yay !



Twins ???

Checking the egg chamber

 

One that didn't hatch :(





Fran and ??? my Mentors.
