Dave again

So we saw Dave again… coool.In fact we saw him twice this week, first time was yesterday, when we saw him on the Yolande reef having a good old munch at the coral. He was still a bit bum buoyant but he was having a good forage and apart from his small and totally inactive rear flippers, seems to be doing pretty well.

However when we saw him today, he appeared to be being bullied a touch. I know turtles can be territorial, and this time we saw him sat on the sand with another turtle behind him taking a peck at his tail! How tempted was I to intervene, but I resisted, and to my relief, Dave got fed up with the pecking and turned around swimming away from his pest. We then got tired of finning to stay still into the howling current, so went on our way. I hope he doesn’t get targeted being obviously a little weaker than your average turtle.
