birds going nuts, dogs barking, some glitch in tranquility, nature's all of a sudden burst forth with noise and discord, what's going down? pan and i wader down to the river, but things start to settle down, some sort of incident in the animal kingdom.
nature detective mission on the case, i can see no ripples on the surface of the river, but i can hear a boat and it's getting louder, a tiny electric motor rips up harmony in my kingdom. i contemplate setting a trap, a string spanning across the width of the river, but the images of heads being flung overboard assists my tolerance levels.
i watch a small boat with two guys manoeuvre it's way down the waterway, fishing people, making a racket. no wonder the animals are spooked, humans interfering with the natural order, upsetting the balance of things, that's the problem on planet earth, we need to restore some balance.
