Bencroft Hill

I expect you are wondering why I have bothered to post up a picture of some ordinary cow parsley, but if you look at this in Large and squint your eyes hard, you will see that actually hiding among the wild flora is a donkey!  ;-)

I had driven up to Bremhill looking for a blip, taken a previously unwalked footpath and gone to explore when I'd come across a sign saying "BEWARE DONKEYS". In fact there were four donkeys who at first seemed to be behind a fence, but in fact proved to have access to the footpath itself and were soon all over me. Luckily, they were completely friendly. I couldn't get a close-up as every time I took a step back to take a picture, one or more of them took a pace forwards. When I sat down one of them rested his head in my lap.

By the time I had returned to the car, they had ventured out into a field and were peacefully grazing.
