Took an early morning stroll to see some island flying foxes hanging upside-down in some coconut palms on the island
… then after lunch we went to out next destination, Kelingan Island aka Turtle Island
The “tomato” (Alison’s case) was brought safely ashore
A monitor lizard passed by, enemy of the turtle
Saw the turtle hatchery, about 100 eggs buried under each of the green net rings
After dinner and in darkness with no camera flash allowed we went to see a green turtle laying its eggs on the beach
… and saw the turtle covering the eggs before creeping back into the sea
Finally saw some hatchlings being released to the sea under torchlight. Tomorrow we go back to mainland Borneo to see loads of orang-utans at the Sepilok rehabilitation centre
