There were plenty of cars at this sighting but for some reason this young mom took exception to us! -O- She kept her eyes on us all the time and eventually walked straight towards us and we had to drive off and wait for her to return to the herd before driving back again! -O-

We had been with the ellies for nearly 2 hours and in that time we counted 78 of them!! ^Q^ When we left, three of the bulls we had seen in the water when we first arrived were still swimming!! :yes: It was an amazing sighting and Ash was over the moon! :-0 :-0

One of those bulls has a reputation for having a go at cars.
