ΦCno22 First Hatch

ΦCno22 hatched today!! Owen sent this text message:

Cno22 H. 2 many 2 count, all 2 the sea. 0 at Dgh21.

One down two to go... three days left before O leaves Matala - although I'm sure they'll make it without his help, all three nests are (I think) well away from man made light sources.

Hatching News

Got a text message from Owen saying that ΦDgh21, the first nest I found, dipped yesterday... the surface of the sand above the nest has dropped, indicating that the eggs have started hatching and the hatchlings are making their way up to the surface, causing sand to collapse into the airspace around the eggs. With any luck someone will find tracks before the project winds up in Matala in a few days time. O texted me again to say that there are tracks this morning - I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
