How much do volunteers work in June/July?
Nesting season is the hardest, because we do nights on the main nesting beach as well as day shift. From this season volunteers will be split into two groups, one doing night shifts and one doing day shifts. Each volunteer will spend 1-3 weeks in each group every month, not necessarily consecutively. So for example you could arrive and spend your first week doing nights, then two weeks on day shifts and last week again on nights. During your night week you will walk the nesting beach from sunset to sunrise (about 22:00 – 6:00), with breaks, 5 or 6 nights. This is a hard and tiring task. During your week of day shifts you will usually have one shift in the morning (could be beach survey from 6:00 or Centre 9:30-13:30) and one in the afternoon (again beach or info shift, usually from 17:00).
