| | | Smiling cow
I went along one of my favourite places today which is the River Otter.As I walked by in a field I saw a Heron amongst a herd of cows.I tried to get a little closer very carefully but although he wasnt spooked by the cows he was by me.I swear this cow was laughing at me

I don't do cows cherrybee, they are a lovely animal but I'm frightened to death of them ever since I was chased by a not very happy young bullock a few years ago  so now any animal which chases me is off my christmas card list. He certainly does look like he is laughing at you though  |

It's been a long day cherrybee and normally I don't start to lose it until about 10pm but they are all the same family though aren't they and I wouldn't trust either whether it was a he or a she |

It looks like a "he", look at that beard and that belligerent "You want some?" expression.
They're a nuisance I tell you. I was trying to photograph some orchids earlier in the year, a gang of them rushed me and chased me out of the field. I wasn't scared or anything, they just took me by surprise |

Yes you don't wont to turn your back on them!
I was photographing some plants a couple of years ago while being surrounded by the herd. I happened to put my sunglasses down for a moment to look in the viewfinder, and promply forgot about them. After shooing my way out of the gathered audience, I continued on my way, but a hundred yards away, rememberd I forgot my glasses. I went back only to find them covered in goo after a couple of the cows took an interest in them by mouthing them.....yuk!
Whether they were trying put them on I don't know, but they did seem very cool cows |

Yes. If you know are going to cross a field full of cows, take a news paper, they are very inquisitive but slow and the paper will occupy them whilst you make your way out of the herd
Sorry to keep thread, Ithis going CB. think actally it's rather nice.
You know how much I love you . Moooooooooooooooooo.

Moooooooooooooooooo. | Beryl, I never knew cows could read  and I would like to know which newspaper they prefer just in case I am ever brave enough to go within 50ft of them and I'll take their favourite newspaper, it will probably be on a Sunday so they'll have plenty to occupy themselves with the Sunday suppliment as well |
