They are on the lookout for slow-moving targets.
It is close to 8pm when the first scratchy message buzzes over the two-way radio: They've caught one in the act.
A giant female loggerhead turtle is digging a nest in the damp grainy sand at Mon Repos Beach, close to the regional Queensland city of Bundaberg.
Once she has settled, the bright spotlight highlights her mission.
