Highland cows approaches the photographer's camera gear
Cows take a liking to photographer's equipment, Malham Moor, North Yorkshire, Britain - 07 May 2016
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/sbl6
A landscape photographer had to MOO-ve it when a couple of inquisitive Highland cattle took a liking to his equipment.
David Zdanowicz was up early to capture the sunrise over Malham Moor in North Yorkshire on Saturday (7 May).
However, the long-horned livestock were seemingly intrigued to get a closer look at what was going on.
David was on the moor at around 6:30am when he had the encounter with the cattle with distinctive long wavy coats.
He explains: "I was taking pictures of the sunrise on the Malham Moors when some huge cows came over the hill. I started taking a few shots of them as they were quite a distance away.
"The next thing I know they start running towards me so I jumped over a wall leaving my bag and tripod behind.
"They took a liking to the equipment and didn't move for thirty minutes. I am definitely sticking to landscapes from now on."

This soggy hare sends a spray of water droplets into the air as it shakes itself dry after a soaking in the Scottish Highlands. The soaked mountain hare was spotted in the Cairngorm National Park in Scotland.
Wildlife photography guide Karen Miller said, “Mountain hares don’t use burrows, so they are always outside whatever the weather. Most of the time it was just sitting and looking around but every so often it would shake off the water before settling down again.”
“I spent five hours with this hare. I have photographed it before over the past two years so knew it would be approachable. You have to approach slowly with regular breaks so it realises you are not a threat.”
“There is something very endearing about seeing a soggy hare. It is also a testament to how these animals have to survive while on the hills.”

Hen harriers’ friend: gamekeeping turns conservation in Yorkshire. Grouse moors are not known for being friendly places for birds of prey – but the Swinton estate has a fresh attitude
Gamekeeper Gary Taylor on the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.

The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.

Hen harriers’ friend: gamekeeping turns conservation in Yorkshire. Grouse moors are not known for being friendly places for birds of prey – but the Swinton estate has a fresh attitude
The moorlands of the Swinton Estate, near Ripon in North Yorkshire. The Swinton Estate is procatively protecting wild Hen Harriers and encouraging the wild birds to breed and flourish on their estate, with Gamekeeper Gary Taylor employing various techniques to ensure they dont predate the red grouse. There is currently a Hen Harrier roost on the moorlands of the estate which is rare as most estates adopt a policy of persecuting wild birds to protect the grouse moors.The hen harrier is one of Britain’s most endangered birds because of illegal persecution. England has upland habitat suitable for more than 300 breeding pairs of hen harriers but in 2013 there were none. The raptors take red grouse and conservationists accuse the grouse moor industry of killing hen harriers. But the hen harrier’s prospects are brightening. This year, 24 successful hen harrier nests in England fledged 84 chicks, the highest number since records began in 2002. Nineteen of those nests were on grouse moors.
