Okie Building a Nest (In daylight this time)

Sadly you can't see what shes doing on camera, the quality really went down. Shes using one back leg at a time as a scoop to dig away and move dirt to create a hole, then in reverse to fill it back in later.

The forward-back / up-down motion her body makes is her switching legs, and pushing dirt out of the way.

Fact: There's not much that can distract a turtle at this point, except a bug that happens to crawl by lol.. but after eating said bug the turtle will then continue nesting till it is done, or unfortunately hits something like a rock or tree root, making her have to stop and find a new nest site and start all over again.
