This bull did very little all day. Saving their energy is vital for the inevitable fights that will occur once the cows have given birth. Docile one minute, a hulking mass of power the next.

Donna Nook was relatively quiet on Friday but in 2 weeks the wardens will see over 7,000 visitors. A great boost to the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust but does this influx have any detrimental effects? The LWT recently refused the BBC access to the colony to record Autumnwatch. Was this a mistake to miss out on a massive publicity pitch or a wise decision to keep disturbance to a minimum?

Comments and thoughts welcome,

Chris

Doesn't quite work for me as it feels like it should be a landscape format that's been shot as a portrait. Maybe crop some off the top and bottom. Also I'd remove the dark smudge in the bottom right hand corner.

I like the composition, would look good on a cover. Such character captured too. I agree with Duncan about that darker patch. :toast:

If you are leaving it as a portrait shot I would crop some off the bottom. Nice detailed image.
