The Beast of Avington?
This guy was foraging amongst a fallen tree from the recent storms in Avington Park near Winchester... They are the biggest horns I have ever seen! It is, of course, a Highland Cow (or "Hilant Coo" to the Scots). and I was kind of glad the tree was between us :)

This swan started following us as we walked along the Itchen River in Winchester. I think it wanted something!
They tell me that all swans in England belong the Queen. Pity, looks like there is lots of meat on this one ;-)

Sheep Sheltering from Showers, near Winchester. I took my new Oly OM-D E-M5iii out on my scooter today, and saw all these sheep running to get under a tree.. I stopped & took a photo, then thought.. "why were they running to get under a tree?" , then realised that there was a heavy downpour just about to happen...
