The survey that did not begin
An original account of an invented wildlife survey.
Our group had arranged to survey a stretch of woodland early on Saturday morning. The meeting point had been agreed, the recording sheets were printed and two volunteers had offered to bring the shared equipment.
Then three members withdrew, the driver of the minibus became unavailable and we learnt that the entrance to the woodland would be closed. By Friday afternoon, the plan had unravelled. That evening, I emailed everyone to say that the survey would have to wait for another weekend.
