Big Butterfly Count Meadow Accidenty Mowed

[Grayling]

I heard this on the radio yesterday "Council worker mistakenly mows meadow used for David Attenborough's Big Butterfly Count"


www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/david-attenborough-big-butterfly-count-meadow-council-devon-a8472891.html

How anyone can "accidently" cut 9 acres rather than just a pathway is beyond me.

Oh dear! Not often that staff do too much work rather than too little. Perhaps the council will need to plant extra seeds next year to help it re-grow.

You'd have thought the employee would have questioned it , but i've no doubt those in the office , wouldn't like that . 
I saw it on the local news last night ... what a shame The person will never forget it 

[Grayling]

Jen, something got lost somewhere as the employee was tasked to mow a small path not the whole meadow - the film the Italian Job springs to mind "You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off"
