Start quest, get disconnected (typical)
Log back in, start quest, none of the turtles are counting.
Fly away, fly back, start quest the 3rd time, it works finally.

A turtle made it to the water!

Holy moly is this annoying! The crabs are fine but the sights are terribly difficult to get aimed on the seagulls. If you try to aim at the bird with anything that appears accurate, visually, you won't lock in on the target or hit it when you fire.

It's like it wants you to aim not at the bird, but what appears to be a bit below it. I wouldn't mind that as I could imagine it was sorta like aiming ahead of the crabs to properly hit them as they move, but no, the sight "pops" into perfect place after you aim at "not the bird". Then because the bird is obviously a moving object you have to keep "not aiming at the darned bird" and waiting for the sight to "pop" up over the bird and then shoot and hope there is no issue. Frankly, sometimes the sight refuses to pop into place - or stay in place long enough for a shot to hit home - for me at all from start to finish on a bird from spawn to carrying off my little turtle buddy. So irritating!

First I thought it was lag, but again the issue isn't present with the crabs, only the birds, and checking my latency and world latency and other functions did not present the same challenge hitting these darned sea gulls has each and every time I do this quest.

This is annoying enough that after having given it a go a handful of times now... I am just over it. It's not fun. I don't care that much about one rep quest when it seems like mostly there are more of the shell games or the maze games present at any given time, so I will skip this one and just do the other missions which are easy and not at all glitchy-feeling.
