The rusty-red colour and the posture - head down as if munching the grass - are reminiscent of the real thing, chewing the cud just a few yards away. I must say, I rather like it.
More natural than the sculpture, but no less 'sculptural' in appearance are the male catkins of the Goat Willow Trees which are still in full flower at the moment. Close to, they are stunningly delicate little flowers with bright yellow, pollen-filled anthers.
Many of the Willows have passed their best by now, but a few - like this one - are still flowering bravely and adding yet more colour to the springtime hedgerows.
