A noble moo.

Watching #Red-tailedCuckoobees moving through chalk grassland [off main track ca 1.5km east of #DitchlingBeacon] peppered with yellow #Cowslips & bright blue #CommonViolets .. w/ serious jousting flights happing among the many #Skylarks competing for territories. Lots of song flights!
Happy walk!

Nice to spot the rare Red-shanked carder bee (excuse less than good image!) today on a decidedly cool & misty Ditchling Beacon feeding among the Cowslips & Dandelions along the northern slope. Also many Red-tailed queens & workers about. #Red-shankedCarderBee

I like cattle of all breeds.
I do also understand their important input in maintaining natural grassland as here on #DitchlingBeacon & also in nature-friendly sustainable beef & dairy farming.
However, I can't see the #economiclogic nor #commonsense in feeding sugar beet that takes up more land,

Off to big air, small crowds ๐Ÿ™„, Sky larks and something else perhaps!
With low expectations but hopeful is how I travel.
Breezing up to #Ditchlingbeacon on No 79!
