Áfter my last post, the sun came out and has shined everyday for the last two weeks - daytime temps have been between 25 and 30deg and down to about 18 at night and hardly any rain.
This made the Jaguar walk a real ordeal. Walking 15 miles on soft sand with 6 litres of water and 5kg of kit would have been enough but throw in hot sun and temperatures pushing 32 and you will understand why I thought I was going to melt by the end! Have never been so happy to have an umbrella as a parasol.
After pouring a litre of cold water down my back I was able to manage a cold beer and a chocolate brownie to help recuperation!
We followed jaguar tracks for 13 of the 15 miles but no sign of any turtles - still at least a month before they start arriving. Now working on a plan to try to capture some pictures of the Jaguars on the beach with cameras hidden in plastic debris - if 'whispering Dave' can have dung cams to film tigers why not?
