Summary of yesterday (Wednesday) :
Calories : 1956. At least I am consistently over the top.
Exercise : 60 mins bike ride.
Hampshire Wildlife Trust has introduced a herd of black cattle (8) to part of the woods through which my exercise sorties pass. It is part of a heathland improvement grazing project apparently. I had wondered why the fences were being repaired and cattle grids introduced. And now I know. I came across my new neighbours munching contentedly away on Tuesday, in fact.
Not too sure about great lumbering animals trampling around the nightjars' nests come next summer but I hope they have thought of that one. Anyway, it adds a new dimension of interest to my excursions and it will be interesting to see how they and their designated area of woodland and heathland fare over the coming months.
I do hope their presence will mean that dog owners will be more considerate about control of their unruly mutts. I might thus get a spin-off benefit of fewer carnivorous confrontations with these latter.
Oh, and to add a little spice here, one of the eight beasts is definitely a bull of the species !
