As Florence heads their way, wild animals—including sea turtles that still have eggs waiting to hatch—could be in for a rough couple of days on.natgeo.com/2x9teDW

First Tahiti petrel GLS recovery ! Deployed last year, this miniaturized logger will show us where our little friend spent its interbreeding period @imbe_noumea @Karen_Seabirds @Vidal_Eric_isld @megane_paul

First Gould's petrels fitted with GPS loggers by the @imbe_noumea team: @Karen_Seabirds @Pujapujane2 @MathieuMathivet @MatildeMeheut @CorentinACE56. Thanks a lot to @ProvinceSud for their support during this mission! Can't wait to see the first tracks

Ouch! Failing rocks are blocking the track to Dzumac' mountains. Gould'Petrels have to wait some few days before being fitted with their GPS devices. @Karen_Seabirds @Andreas_Ravache @Pujapujane2 @MathieuMathivet @CorentinACE56 @ProvinceSud
