How Now Brown Cow!
A snapshot of Lincolnshire’s finest….
Today saw the end of an enjoyable few days off from work, the batteries have been recharged and I’m, erm, raring to go again 
To end the holiday I spent a very enjoyable day with my brother and a ton of Canon equipment walking around some of my county’s lesser troden paths in search of suitable subjects for my brothers latest lens.
I decided on four places where solitude and an abundance of wildlife is guaranteed so obviously today every man and his dog turned up. Major roadworks stopped me from taking him to Fiskerton Fen, a visit to Chambers Farm Woods came up with one robin, oh and a grass snake I almost trod on. Next up was College Wood, that never lets me down I said. Famous last words…virtually every path was closed for tree felling!!
Nocton Fen next and tractors and lorries scared everything within a five mile radius away from us so it was a last throw of the dice with trying to spot buzzards at Boothby Graffoe. Guess what? Not a buzzard in sight. I’m sure we looked a right pair to all of the wildlife hiding in the undergrowth as nothing save a brace of pigeons flew by. My one saving grace was this photo of a ‘family’ of Lincolnshire cattle. All in all a great day despite the lack of shots. This one made up for it though….
Lincolnshire Cattle
Great shot and a great day out too.
Shame people can’t see that shot ful size and on a high-def monitor, it would blow them away

Miles,
I love this shot. The family has clearly come out to pose for you. As a guide in Switzerland said to us: they look like happy cows that produce wonderful milk for us.
Our garden has more or less been deserted by birds over the last few days. It feels totally unnatural and eerily quite. They must be getting well fed in the countryside at present.
On my walks I have been seeing kestrels again.
