Just leave it there and protect it , ( CCTV ) , no need to dig out .

Are the turtle eggs especially tough skinned? I ask because I see the picture and I wonder how careful the workers are. Now I realize why some of the eggs are not viable.

[Is this real]

It's always a good idea to tell the world where eggs are found.  It attracts people to the nests.

Huh?  You don't want people at the nests?

Then why the heck is the location photographed and mentioned?

Fools.
