Animal instincts: It's not a load of bull

Here's my entry in this week's #animalphotography contest by @juliank.

Driving along a dusty road halfway between nowhere and Tabulum (you have no idea where that is, do you?), I was desperately looking for subjects to test out my brand-spanking new telephoto lens. Apart from a couple of boring shots of a rusty old tractor parked forever more in an overgrown paddock, I'd driven for what seemed like hours ... and ... nothing. Absolutely nothing.

And then, I spotted a herd of cattle on an isolated property. My animal instincts finally paid off.

Granted, it's not David Attenborough-style animal photography, but after a long day in the driver's seat, it was, at least, something.

By the way, I just uploaded my first video to Dtube. It's drone footage taken in the spectacular Border Ranges.
