Poachers mar turtle nesting


Labour of love: The sea turtle labouring to get back to the ocean after spending about an hour to lay her eggs in the beach nesting. Inset shows the handful of eggs dug out.

GEORGE TOWN: It is the norm for a turtle to lay about 100 eggs or more each time but only a handful were found after one turtle nested on Batu Ferringhi beach.

Despite efforts to secure the turtle nest, it is believed most of the eggs were stolen.
