Perous Secret Diary - Keep Out

<< previous next >>

good day Saturday

(all photos: maximum perou)

all out for early coffee at pantiles

then to the woods

to cement inside the tunnel under our road, where a concrete pipe collar badly joined an old brick tunnel

the lip had been causing the tunnel and stream to get blocked with sticks, which we'd cleared earlier when it was flooded

now its been dry-for-a-while i was able to get into it and seal the gaps

but have since found some of the brickwork collapsed in the floor, so now my next job will be rebricking the tunnel...hmmm

z mixed cement while max went off with a long lens to find some dear friends to photograph

<< previous next >>

while i was in the tunnel, i could hear birds fighting outside

then maximum surprisingly came back with a young, injured buzzard, in hand

<< previous next >>

didnt want to leave young buzzard to die on the floor

so ended up boxing him up and taking him to the conveniently very local wildlife sanctuary

who immediately PPE'd up: apron, gloves and mask and whisked young buzzard away to quarantine

noticing maximum had a bleeding scratch on his arm from young buzzard, I wondered if he needed to be quarantined too, but apparently not

it will be quite ironic if in rescuing this burd, maximum contracts avian bird flu or the bird returns as an adult to kill our daft, small, fluffy cat Zelenskyy.

maximum was half hoping to have a new pet bird of prey like in assassin's creed but we aren't at the woods to nurse it ourselves.

sanctuary say burd has a 50/50 chance of survival

and we'll get updates on how well he/she is doing

and if burd recovers, we can release it to where we found it.

local pub for lunch and debrief after

then lemon drizzle cake at Ali, Emma and AMC's

home in time to see England surprisingly beat Switzerland in the Euros quarter final

a good day all round.
