Oh and some excitement too. We were going out for the day yesterday, but I spotted a cow that was laid really close to the water's edge down by our pond. Too close for comfort, really. I went closer and realised that she was not laid there for fun - she had slid into the water and couldn't get up again.
I rang the owner and he brought his farmer partner and we tried to shoo her up one of the less steep slopes, but to no avail. An hour later my family arrived, so we had to leave. Turns out they had to call out emergency services who had to pull her out of the water with a crane. I wasn't there to see it, sadly. She was lifted out the water five hours after I found her there, happily reunited with her calf.
