Visiting the cattle

Wednesday, March 10th 2010

After a hectic day clearing out more Gorse from the area leading up to the new Wetland, a few volunteers went to visit our Scottish friends out on the training area.

Cattle on the reserve

As you can see, they were very curious as usual and Tom and Gillian have done a wonderful job looking after them through the winter months. They are all in fine fettle and judging by the size of their bellies, have been well fed! They seem to be thoroughly enjoying roaming about on the 130 acre field. McGregor is there too, he is behind Hector and Fraser (on the left). They will return to Foxglove later this month (if they can be caught)!
