Lyz received a phone call from a lady who needed help rescuing some Moorhen chicks.
Told that they were left to fend for themselves after their parents got killed, Lyz brought her welly boots and took off.
At her arrival, she soon realized that what was described to her as a “pond” was more of a lake to us common people and the chicks were stuck in a nest on the island in the middle!
Lyz asked if there was a boat she could borrow but the lady assured her that her husband walked out to that island all the time and that the “pond” was not that deep at all. After testing the depth with a stick Lyz started to wade. The first few steps were ok but then it suddenly went from shallow to very deep and guess who fell in! Now swimming she reached the island, secured the babies, and started to make her way back, and let's just leave it to our imagination what she was muttering to herself.
It turned out that you could walk out to the island if you knew where the hidden walkway was and this was how the husband managed to get back and forth keeping dry wearing wellies!
Now you know why Lyz always keeps a spare set of clothes in the back of her van! 😀
