A little bit rural

Running beside one of our popular cycle/walkways are a few paddocks in which the farmer runs cattle. He had just done an ensilage run so the air was ripe but the cattle love it. One ran about 500 metres to get there in time for a feed. On the other side of the walkway are scenes like the extra. A white faced heron also feeding. I sat and watched it from the sea side sand bank. When he got to the end of the lagoon, instead of going straight ahead over a path of concrete he headed up the bank to the walkway, walked along the path and into the next lagoon. I was some distance away and sitting down. I could have told him it would take longer for me to get up and chase him that it would take for him to fly away.
