Sunday 24th January. 8 miles. Knowle Green.
A hard frost greeted me this morning with little hope of the temperature rising above zero throughout the day. I decided on a brisk walk around the lanes circling Knowle Green. Up to the New Drop, turn right down to the Knowle Green road, along Greenmoor Lane, back up Preston Road and Tan Yard. It was a grey day with the hills holding on to some of yesterday’s snow. The highlight early on being catching the Highland Cow and her youngster in a better photographic pose. I tried to capture a kestrel in hovering mode. After that I just marched around the circuit to keep warm.

I think the first photo of the highland beasts was the best. We have them on The Knott and they are so benign and laid-back, belied by their intimidating horns.
I’d passed a dozen or so times before they would pose together. Have you come across a bull yet?
Great photos of the Highland cow and calf, I like the first one best 🙂
As I’ve said I’d been trying to get the two of them together for a while now.
