Have a Cigar - Pink Floyd

Welcome my son - Welcome to the machine!
Where have you been?
It's alright we know where you've been. 

You've been in the pipeline filling in time,
provided with Toys and Scouting for Boys.
You brought a guitar to punish your ma, 

and you didn't like school and you know you're nobody's fool.
So welcome, welcome, welcome to the machine!

The day started in the stragest of ways with not a feather in sight as this

MAMMOTH
trundled up the driveway without so much as a
 Notice to Mariners Navigational Warning!
to undertake an operation that is
none of my business.
Being but a Simple Sailor and Seawater Only
we never involve ourselves in such things as
Machinary or Electrickery
but this was wonderment to watch
even to this
OLD SALT
simply could not
drag myself away - AMAZING!
but very little (new) in the field with that single exception.
A little bit of a stir right outside of the door as the male
PHEASANT
seemed to have the idea
must have thought Spring had Sprung as in persuit of this
Female
while further afield the
CORMORANTs
were present again along the
MOORS RIVER
while sticking with the aquanauts a couple of male
TUFTED DUCK
were located back on the
Irrigation Pond
along with an unseen but singing Little Grebe in this clip

along with another.
Close by a couple (we won't say 'pair' just yet) of
GREY SQUIRREL
were frollicking while
"by the Oak Trees' Mossy Moot"
Linden Lee - Ralph Vaughan Williams
"and where for me the Apple Tree do lean down low in Linden Lee"!
Additionally, it was noted that the
RHODODENDRON
(in many ways an introduced plague)
are now in bud and while a favourite of only a very few it does attract an absolute cracker of an Insect which we will surely highlight soon after the turn of the month.
We did tarry (great word in-it?) a while to note some of last years
BRACKET FUNGI
going over while aloft the
MAGPIEs
are almost there.
No denying that the Best was found to be Last
and only turning but a single cover to find a
FIELD VOLE
beneath.
"To Bed! To Bed!" says Sleepy-head;
"Tarry awhile," says Slow;
"Put on the Pan," says Greedy Nan;
"Let's sup before we go."
"Oh by the way which one's Pink"
