On Friday, a female was spotted from the bridge, during our evening harbour shift with a fishing net wrapped around her neck and both front flippers. She was brought to land for further assessment whereby it was discovered that the netting was wrapped very tightly around her front right flipper. Luckily, we were able to remove this immediately, and she was healthy enough to release her straight after. This turtle was untagged, giving us the chance to tag yet another turtle in the harbour. She has since been named Louisa. We are hopeful to see Louisa again, swimming around the harbour healthy and happy in the future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023-07-03-Argostoli-Field-Station-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Our volunteers have settled in very well here at the Argostoli field station, taking part in pizza night, quizzes, beach rounders, and sunset swims.

There were a further 8 nests laid on Kanali which were all left in situ apart from 1 and then 2 nests laid on Lourdas with one also having been relocated that morning and the other sometime this week due to Lourdas being a risky beach for storms, flooding and light pollution. During the finding, protecting and relocating of one of the nests on Lourdas it was noted that there were 17 broken eggs and thus removed to prevent contamination of the nest, this high number of broken eggs is unusual and this nest will be one to watch and understand its success rate to hatching.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8398\" title=\"Lourdas Sea Turtle Nest\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3-150x113.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wildlifesense.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022-07-03-EP-Lourdas-Field-Station-3-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Education programme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last 2 weeks, we have welcomed 2 groups from both the USA and England for volunteering hours and as an educational school trip.
