Great pictures, Julian.

One thing I noticed on Saturday afternoon was as the cows approached, and
before they broke cover with their bobbing walk, the immature female moved
very slowly towards the adult female while holding its body absolutely still -
almost as if it were gliding on rails.  Quite extraordinary.
