In flagrante

Chain saw action caught in flagrante at the northern end of the Longmead Road, but at a distance at which the telephone struggled a bit. Not at all clear to me why the action was necessary.

On this occasion, council contractors rather than the chain saw volunteers, 14th West Horton or any other branch - and there was plenty of litter about to which their attention might more usefully have been directed, but I suppose that that is not as much fun as clambering around in trees with noisy equipment.

There was also a leak (or a dump) of some white stuff, maybe paint, into one of the drains from the industrial estate which flow into this branch of the Hogsmill. But nothing much to be done about that, except wait for some rain to flush it along.
