You lay 120 eggs into the bottom of the flask-shaped hole. You fill the hole with sand and disguise the area to prevent predators from finding your nest. Your need to return to the safety of the sea is great and you turn around and head back towards the water. You reach the warm sea and swim out into the bay - you may return in a few weeks to lay a second clutch of eggs.  Click the image above to see an animated nesting sequence.
You will now need to keep an account of how many of your eggs hatch and survive and how many turns you have taken. The female loggerhead has now returned to the sea and your role changes. Click on the turtle to find out what happens next.
