Mobile Bird Scarers.

During a recent visit to Oare Marshes I witnessed these cows crossing the East Flood and the resulting effect on the various waders that were quietly feeding or sleeping until their space was invaded!

I will post my other sightings and a few pics when I can find some time away from other issues that are needing my attention at this time. FAB

  6. I am surprised at the combination of cows and birds. Is that private land? If the cows are in the area all the time I would have thought the birds would become used to them??

  8. Kelly. Funny...great minds think alike..I thought that after I had typed the title!

    Keith. Everything soon returned to normal so no harm done.

    Chris. I wish I had carried on snapping...the cow nearly sank!!

    Warren & Mona. Absolutely. This is one location where I have never seen a dog off a lead.

    Ginnymo. I thought you might.

    Mick. It's a nature reserve where they use Konick horses to graze the land. I think the cows are interlopers but the birds soon resettled.

    Tricia. Thanks. They were just playing 'follow the leader'!

  11. You just caught a great series of pictures of nature getting along with each other and respecting each other's needs ;) ...too bad 'mankind' hasn't learned that lesson.
