A man in a field party was attacked by a crocodile for the second time as he 
hunted for eggs.

Crocodile egg harvester Joe Wilson and another man were harvesting eggs on 
the Daly River. 
Mr Wilson would not discuss the attack yesterday but associates last night 
confirmed the attack. 
He spent three days in Royal Darwin Hospital for treatment to wounds on his 
abdomen. 
One crocodile industry worker said he and the other man were near a crocodile 
nest when the animal reared at them. 
"You only have to take your mind off the job for a few seconds and incidents 
like this can occur," the source said.
