Fire Brigade - The Move

Not wishing to trivialise matters with the 'headline' but it was a case of Best Fit!

Yesterday was shaping up to be one of those most unusual

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way     Time - Pink Floyd

kind of days, until arriving back at Parley Pond and there,

preening away for all it was worth then stealing a large amount

of pond weed, was the first returning

 COOT

of the year.

The preening /stretching / feeding behaviour was thought indicative of a long flight,

thought most likely from the Fleet, a saline watercourse which runs from

Weymouth to beyond Abbotsbury and holds many hundreds, if not thousands,

of these birds.

as if by way of a Welcoming Committee a

MOORHEN

joined in.

It was 14:00 and the mood of the day was about to change to

                                       The sweet smell of a great sorrow lies over the land.

                                       Plumes of smoke rise and merge into a leaden sky.     Sorrow - Pink Floyd

 PARLEY COURT MANOR

was ablaze.

 At least 9 Appliances attended,

 much to the bemusement of the Llamas.

 Credit to the Dorset Fire Service

 they seemed to be on site within a matter of minutes soon setting up a

Control Point

 and it is understood

Fire Crews

donning Breathing Apparatus, unusually, before arrival.

 It took some time to get the flames and

 smoke under control

 before a search could be made of the interior.

 Cause or severity of the damage is not yet known but the

GOOD NEWS

is, no one was hurt.

As for today, well another covering what has become known

(to me only) as

My Patch

and a great start relocating the confiding but amazingly mobile

WOODLARK

in addition the highest count (5) of

 SKYLARK

'on the ground' this year.

The highest count (24) of

 REED BUNTING

 between the Weed Field and Marsh behind the Eco Recycling Plant,

where there were also

 c19

 COMMON SNIPE

 along with c2 returning

GREY WAGTAIL

and finally a little bleat about having to go 'SHOPPING' today. As if this degradation

 on its own is not enough you find that Mankind is also operating

with all those little traits and annoyances.

 We all like a bit of SPACE and get it until

Mr and Mrs Let's Snuggle Up arrive.

Oh look, The Rolling Acres.
How the hell is a FFB suppose to gain access to his vehicle under these conditions?
