The @wildlifebcn.org Mouflon looking very photogenic at Stonepit Close this week - finding a good vantage point on a heap of limestone. They seem to be becoming bolder, though they kept a very close eye on me as I skirted round them...

Sheep grazing our Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve, Fleecefaulds Meadow #Fife. Over winter they tackle the coarse vegetation which would otherwise dominate the meadow flowers including several species of orchid.

These guys were looking content at Brockadale nature reserve, but not much grass left so moved them along the ings to a field that's a bit rank/rough but with more to eat.
This ex-arable limestone meadow is really stunning in late spring.

❄️ Throwing it back to winter (because who doesn’t love a shaggy Highland cow?)
Our conservation grazing crew were up at Masons Bank over the colder months, helping us manage the land for wildlife. Their winter coats? On point. Their impact? Even better 🐮💚

These dashing goats do vital conservation work at our Sevenoaks reserve, browsing woody scrub while leaving wildflowers undisturbed. Their secret weapon? 'Hefting', a loyalty to home turf that keeps them grazing where we need them.

Took this group off the higher hill today. Took the bull away, and let Cows & calves onto upland heath for a week or two, before moving on to lower grassland. Doing a good job grazing out the different parcels #HighNatureValueFarming #ConservationGrazing

DNA metabarcoding of dung from rewilded cattle & horses in Denmark reveals dietary differences, suggesting potential for coexistence 🧬🧪
Winter feeding changed diet compositions, which might affect vegetation development in areas where feeding is supplied 🐎🌎
