Mother cow with calf grazing on pasture on the south downs way by Shoreham UK. Protective mother keeping the calf behind them. The wary calf looks up.
Walking through the pastures to find wildlife to photograph, I noticed the cows were not bothered by me but the calf was very alert looking at me all the time. I was not too close as I was using a long lens.
