So longest Day….ever…. Two days early AN a little boy fledged took the longest flight for a first flight that any of us had ever seen…..landed on the Travel lodge in west street Chichester. Very dodgy place with many wires in his way. It was not going to be easy for him to fly off…..as the hours wore on we phoned world wildlife rescue in Leatherhead……for advice ……I did something I never thought I would do ….ran out and stopped a Fire Engine…the crew from selsey were absolutely brilliant but at the end of the day as he was not trapped the RSPCA would not give permission for a rescue….so reluctantly the Fire Brigade left……Having packed up ready to go home we did one last drive by…..as we stood by the car watching we saw him take off fly well and some 45 minutes later found him safe and sound on the bell tower…..many thanks to the whole team, the Selsey Fire Brigade , and the picture are from me….David Shaw, John Harper with the first flight and Barry Lutman…..Thank you everyone ….what a day…..!!!
