Who's the "COWard"?


Sarah and I were, they were standing in our path and that blank stare is so UNREADABLE!    Don't think we were being silly, cows can be lethally aggressive. 


We were trying to reach the birdwatchers' viewing stand (actually a luxurious building with huge windows) which you can vaguely see over cow's horn above and below.




Cows won, we walked a large circle around them - which meant climbing down the bank to path on right.
The cow with the crumpled horn kept guard...

We watched birds for well over an hour, which amazed even us, I mean watching birds for so long.   Most fascinating was the hawk, a harrier I think, which swooped and braked right in front of the window, a WOW moment, then he/the hawk was harassed and mobbed by crows as he tried to pick off one of the hundreds of ducks.   It was, after all, a bird (and cow) sanctuary.

Amazing shots! I felt that the cows were about to speak. They've got that "Get off my land" pose.
Thanks for sharing. MJW
