Wildlife

These three magnificent chaps belong to a neighbouring farm, where they are lovingly cared for and exhibited at the local agricultural shows.

Cows often seem to be intelligent and quite sensitive creatures. Be careful photographing around them and if you do seek a low angle like in this picture, take your time when standing up again, as the action of what looks like springing up out of the ground can startle them.

Otherwise they seem quite happy to have their picture taken!
