Nosey Cows

This is something a bit different. These are the wild, roaming nosey mixed breed cows from the Chasewater Country Park, Burntwood Staffordshire England. There are quite unique with their markings, something a bit different from your average black and white cows. Cows have always been known to be very nosey and these certainly live up to this. On my photo walk these just came up to me from the woods to have a good close up look at what I was doing and a good slobber all over the camera. These cattle are used for conservation grazing, which plays a vital role in maintaining and improving vital habitats. They are often referred to as the Chasewater’s four-legged gardeners. Every summer they can graze freely at the nature reserve. They are well used to people and as you can see they couldn’t be any friendlier. They have such an inquisitive nature and clever identity that they simply make me smile. I just feel sorry for them with all those pesky flies, I only had to endure these flies during filming; they have to live with it day in and day out. Chasewater Country Park situated in Staffordshire, England where the channel meets the waterway reservoir. It covers 360 hectares, including 90 hectares of water. The surrounding heathland and woods support many different species of wildlife, including deer. The reservoir gives the Canals basic water to keep up levels in the Birmingham Canal Network, and beyond.
