Re: Outings around Lausanne, Switzerland
oups forget to explain what the cows make here
Had an eye on the Spoonbill, and searching the Hobby... I heard something like bells in a church, it was Sunday, it's normal, but can't remember where it is this church... and always a bit nearer
not so much wind, so I have a look to my right... stupor the whole troup of cows arrives, in the passway, so tiny, only one meter wide, no place for 2 cows (me and the four legs)
There are two barbed wire on each side, not the time to choose the side, I tried to pass on my left , but I forgot that there are two barbed wires one at chest height and the other at the knees .
I remained hanging in the wire, took a picture of the cows , put my feet in the pond, caught a thread not to fall (almost the place for a hand between the teeth) ... the cows were to 1 meter , two were running , the third was very interested... by me = road block .... snout against snout ( her and me ) . I don't know how long it lasted ...
the cap jumped, it was pushing behind (10/15 cows) and then I heard the peasant : go, go , go.
When he saw me he asked me if I had fear .... not specifically , but I wanted to take some distance ...
It took me more than 10 minutes to go out of this awkward position and I returned to the car, 2 km away , with pain in the right leg, that I always today. Needless to stay , the cows did flee the game and maybe the birds too ... and then it was painful to stay on my legs
