Three cows in the east field.
A couple with a picnic blanket in the shade in the west field. I went in and asked how they got in, they said they’d hopped the fence. I told them they weren’t supposed to be in there. They said they didn’t realise. I asked if the barbed wire they jumped over gave them any indication, and explained it’s a nature reserve and there are nesting ground birds. They said it was just such a lovely day, but that they were happy to leave.
Offered to let them by the gate so they didn’t need to jump over the fence again, and walked them up to the Courteney Road gate. A bird flew up out of the long grass as we approached, so I steered us a bit of a long way round in shorter grass to minimise disruption.
If they had refused or been aggressive or anything I would have just walked away, I wouldn’t have gotten into anything, and husband was watching with dogs beyond the fence so overall felt pretty secure. They were just some folk trying to have a picnic in a pretty field. Photo attached is the patch of squashed grass they were on.
