A biophilic forward operating base
In the midst of seasonal modification
The airborne unit is in recce mode
New targets were installed at 1400 Zulu
Bluetit is the first Oscar Mike
The tiny sortie checks go/no go for IP
And flatters nervously checking for bogeys
His friends chirp: buster for target!
And finally he makes contact
Hover in flight refuelling before a fast RTB
Such is the urgency around the new birdfeeder
This still needs some work. We were joking that the songbirds keep using the camelia as a FOB so I wanted to write a poem that reflects the urgency and excitement around getting to the snackies all the while avoiding the sparrow hawk.
