Hello Photo lovers,
A long time ago I spend my morning in the heather field of the Mookerheide. I had a job close by this area in the morning so I thought go there very early and take some sunrise pictures of this nature reserve before I have that appointment. I wanted to visit this area for a while now so that was very convenient.
In this nature reserve are Scottish highlander cows grazing. They are here to keep the grass and young trees away from the heather fields. They want to keep it a more open field ant doing that by hand or with machines is not an option. So these cows are very handy. And for people it's also a very nice subject to go and visit.
They are not really wild animals but you do need to keep your distance from them. Specially if they have a young. I don't really know what a safe distance is so if I saw them move a bit ore look at me to much I walked back to the road again.
I started with some heather plants and some panoramic shots of the area.
After about 15 minutes and a couple of small hills later, I saw my first highlander cow.
This cow kept looking at me and that flt strange. I know they wont run towards you to tremble over you but I saw the black cow in the grass next to it and I really had no idea what kind of animal that was. I kept my distance from them.
This is the closes I got. It stayed down all morning, so if I want to see it better I need to go back here some day.
Further away there was a nither group of cows. They looked more friendly to me.
I really hoped this one would turn around and look at me. that would have been a nice picture. Al l this was already pretty close so maybe I would run if he had done that.
