    After travelling from her feeding grounds off Indonesia, this female comes ashore to nest shortly after dusk. Views[269] Exhausted after an evening nesting, and caught out by the large tidal shift, this female faces the rising sun. If she does not reach the ocean before temperatures rise too high she may become stranded. Views[306] As a data deficient species, all data recorded is vital in determining the stability of the Flatback sea turtle population. Views[298] The 'crawl marks' of a female who has nested. Returning to leave her legacy on the beach where she hatched. Views[303] Researchers and volunteers cover 6 Kilometres of beach on foot every morning recording data from the previous evenings nesting. Temperatures often exceed 35 degrees centigrade during November so early starts are essential. Views[292]
