Cagliari, Caretta caretta like Poetto: eggs laid in the night
The turtle came out of the water in front of the Marine hospital and made its nest in the sand of the Navy establishmentMother turtle emerged from the Poetto di Cagliari yesterday around 18.30: «At sunset, one step away from us, very slowly, she arrived looking for a safe and welcoming space to lay her eggs» , says Alessandra S., who watched the scene in amazement.
The caretta caretta was up to the Marino hospital. But he didn't choose that spot to make his nest.
It moved towards a military establishment and here, in the sand between the beach umbrellas, it laid its eggs during the night, before returning to the water. This morning the Forestry has fenced off the area: now we will have to wait about two months for the hatching.
The one in the last few hours is the second laying in the space of a few days on the coast of the Golfo degli Angeli: during the week another caretta caretta has chosen the Poetto di Quartu to bring to the light its young.
