Fen: On cows and the effects of rain

Warning: Non Cambridge 23 Content - its all about the Fen...

Here is a curious thing; cows will eat ivy. I am not certain why it surprises me so but it does. I saw a cow this morning with nothing short of a voracious appetite for it. Nothing was going to come between it and its breakfast!

Noticed also a beautiful juxtaposition of plants caused by the weight of rain water lightly crushing together stands of black sedge and white comfrey. The interspersed spikes of the sedge and bells of the comfrey were quite a sight covered in tiny globes of water.
