00:00Now, for the best part, Pierre Lombard is an expert on turtles, and he has been monitoring

00:07turtles' nesting on these beaches for over 30 years.

00:12He's the only person allowed to drive his car on the beach, and he's going to take me

00:15to look for some nesting females.

00:17Well, hello, Mr. Pierre.

00:18Hi, Brooke.

00:19How are you?

00:20Yeah, no, good and welcome.

00:24And the tide is on our side, so it's low tide now, so I'm glad you're here so that we can

00:29start going and look for the turtles.

00:31Oh, I'm so excited.

00:43We've got a headlamp, we've got the book, we've got the tagging tool, and we've got

00:48your brains.

00:49Yes.

00:50Okay, Brooke, so these are the tracks of the loggerhead.

00:59So I think we must take the tagging tool, and then we follow it, and we see if the turtle

01:04is busy laying the eggs, okay?

01:06Okay, let's do it.

01:07All right, let's go.

01:08Okay.

01:09Wow.

01:10So she's got no tag on.

01:11Okay, the tag is in.

01:12So what's she going to do now?

01:22She's going back.

01:23She's done now.

01:25She just wants to get over this hill of sand, this dune.

01:31She didn't lay her eggs, although we tagged her.

01:34That's the important part.

01:35We need to identify this turtle in the years to come, and disturbing her is not the end

01:42of the world.

01:43She will go back into the ocean, and even tonight, we will maybe find her on our way

01:48back in the same study areas.

01:51All right, now it's time to measure her.

01:58Okay.

01:59Okay, let's write that all down.

02:04Now, the size is very important to establish the growth.

02:09Only put the date, and the time, and the GPS we can do in the car.

02:16We've just tagged this amazing loggerhead turtle.

02:19She's about 18 years old.

02:21She hasn't laid her eggs yet, but she's probably going to go back into the ocean, up the current

02:26a bit, then maybe we'll see her later in the night.

02:31Mr. Pierre has told me that the turtles love it when you tickle them on the neck.

02:35And look, they really do.

02:41She's done with her tickles, and ready to go back into the ocean.

02:51Well, she's got a few more meters, then she'll be back in the ocean.
