2nd Satak Outing - Part 2

When I went for the 1st outing in November I was informed that there is another species of satak in another stretch of the beach. After nearly an hour and probably tens of satak sucked out of their burrows, we found it. The only one that day. It is different: transparent shell and with claws.

The orangey thing under its belly is hundreds of eggs
After taking its photos we released it back into its burrow and hopefully all the eggs will hatch and more of these species of satak will be found in future.

Will upload satak pictures in next posting. Good advert for the mobile phone service provider.
