I don't remember cattle roaming the forest as they do today when I was a child; today they're everywhere, on the open in heathland, in the wetland bottoms and amongst the unenclosed forest stands. I don't remember ever walking through woodland and coming face to face with a solitary cow like we did this morning. I'm sure they didn't, and that the cattle have been introduced, or re-introduced, in recent decades; or if they did the practice has become far more widespread. They may have been about and I just remember them, or the forest like that; I'm not infallible. Don't misunderstand me, I’m not complaining either, I welcome increased animal diversity out here. I'm just saying.
