If you come any closer I'm going to lick that lens

I've photographed these cattle before but not used them for a blip, so this morning when I saw them I dumped the bike and climbed a small bank and stood by the fence.
Being inquisitive two of them moved closer as I bagged a couple of shots, to get a better angle I knelt on one knee and clicked away, it felt painful.
I had carefully avoided the nettles on the way up the banking then knelt bare legged on a nettle.
The things we suffer for a blip.
P.S. Dock leaves don't work!
