At the waterhole

The owners of the farm were most helpful in the access they granted me and they advised me of some possible vantage points and the likely behaviour of the Bison.

These are American Plains Bison and probably better known to many as the Buffalo that featured in so many of the old Hollywood films.

The hot, dry weather had meant that this particular breeding herd had taken to standing in a lake whilst they chewed the cud.  I've labelled the sexes on their first appearance.  After that it's up to you!

I don't think the neighbour was too pleased at the way the fish were being disturbed.

The next part of my project is photographing one of the herds on pasture.
