| Re: Nature's diary - October
That happened to us a couple of years ago just south of the M4. I had been birdwatching with my missus on the Cotswolds water park. We had taken our dogs with us. The pager I carry announced a couple of Ring Ouzels not far away so of we went and once at the site parked up and ventured along a well used path towards a distant escarpment, where they had been reported. Not long after we started our walk the dogs started to get agitated and when we turned around a herd of Cows had entered the field near to the access point of the field. Cows do not make me nervous (no that isn't the man in me, they just don't) but Ros is different, bordering on paranoia. She freaked out so causing the dogs to panic. I tried to calm her down but to no avail and against my better judgement we started to run, and so did the cows. Like you we beat them to the gates but only just.
I have been in fields with many cows before and i just take no notice. I find that they are just curious and as long as you are careful they cause no probems. A bit different if there is a Bull in there though. lol  |
