In the Farmyard

There are lots of animals on the moor, some fairly ordinary some seen less often and some pretty special. I saw some of the special ones yesterday evening in wonderful light but I was on my way to meet John so I didn't stop. 

When I saw the theme of the Wide on Wednesday challenge (hosted by BobsBlips) which is 'Animal or insect' I knew that I needed to go back to see if I could find them. I'm talking about Highland cattle. They belong at a farm at Grimspound but wander all over that area of the moor. I suppose it was a long shot expecting to find them in the same place but I have seen them there before. 

I stopped in various places where I saw animal scenes. There's an 'aaw' picture of a dartmoor pony with a young one which I've put in as an extra but my main blip was discovered by chance. I stopped to walk back to see some white geese in a field behind the farm. It didn't make the photo I thought it would but then I saw this cow isolated in the yard and I thought it looked good with the red roofed shippon behind. Shame about the heelan coos but maybe I'll see them and blip them another day.
