20/11/12 The Twelve Days of Curieuse
This a Jackie reporting from Curieuse in the
Seychelles. On base we have the oldies, Tif, Victor, Eli and Tara as well
as newbies, myself, Anjan, Hanna, Emily, Rach, and the staff Patrick, Reggie,
Lee, April, Noel, Esme and a trusty companion in Digby.
We have had an exciting week so far as Hawksbill
Nesting season ramps up. We have had hatchling, nests laid and some fabulous
data gathered. Our Coco de Mer survey is quickly moving forward in order
to have a count ready for the end of the month. We even spotted a green turtle
in the water, not far from our beach!
As Chistmas season is fast approaching, a little
Curieuse 12 Days of Christmas for your enjoyment, hum along as you read:
On the twelfth day in the Seychelles, Curieuse gave to
me 12 hatchlings scrambling, 11 mosquito bites converging, 10 dinner menus, 9
Classifications of emergences, 8 Coco de Mer dancing, 7 nesting beaches, 6
ladies snorkelling, 5 newbies arriving, 4 coconuts a shucking, 3 hawksbills
laying, 2 turtle doves (really), and 1 guitar to remember by (thanks Eli).
