Well, I've been back in cold wet England for a week now. I'm just about getting back into the swing of things. I've been lucky enough to get some work that will see me through to next spring.
So a little summary for you. We had 51 nests in Hania this year, the highest count for a few years. Of these, 48 of them hatched successfully (the severe weather towards the end of August claimed the other three). The smallest nest had just 48 eggs, the largest had 175!
We had well over 3000 hatchlings successfully making it into the sea.
Over the course of the season, 52 volunteers worked for ARCHELON in Hania, coming from 13 different countries. Thank you to all of you - I hope you had a great time in Crete!
Cya soon
John
