Spotted this handsome chap at Tidmarsh just down the hill from me.:)
Great capture
He's gorgeous .Long - Haired Highlander. Beautiful beasts
Yes, there were several in the field.:)
Why don't you pop it in the forum as a UK mammal. They have been ere since the Neolithic times and it;s a fantastic shot :0
Having said that I guess it isn't wildlife is it :D
Not really.:) Although probably as wild as some of the deer in the UK.:)
Yes. They are beautiful though
They're best seen in their own environment though, Rolf, but maybe I'm biased!:D
Beryl, you called them 'Long Haired Highlanders'. That's what the Dutch call them too, but I'd never heard of them called that here before. That's interesting. (They're simply called 'Highland Cattle' up north!)
Here are a couple of pics - very dull day, sorry! Taken, going south, on the road to Applecross, north of Loch Duich. Skye and other Inner Hebrides in the background. I'm not sure if the red car was the problem, but one of the herd didn't seem to want us to pass!:eek:
I agree Catherine, much better in their own environment.:) Love the look on the face of the second one. :)
Only because it has long hair and it's not a long horn and I find cattle species interesting :) I 'spose
Long Haired Highland Cattle
Rolf, you wouldn't have liked that face had you been staring out at it from your beloved new Focus!;)
Beryl, Highland Cattle are quite common north of the border, so they're not given their 'Sunday names' by ordinary folks like me!:)
You'd love to see them in Plockton, where they wander around the streets as they've always done. However, they now happily 'pose' for visitors - and I honestly think they know exactly what they're doing! If they keep smiling, they won't become mince - their Highland owners know what brings in the tourists!;)
