Heifers - young cows - get too close to the microphones.

As I sit quietly in the floodplains of the river Maas near the village of Bokhoven to take beautiful nature shots, some heifers come to take a look at what stuff I have placed in 'their' meadow. Despite my valiant efforts ;-) to chase them away, I have to secure my gear.

More here today / More at this river near Bokhoven
