    All good advice but doesn't touch on a farmer's responsibility, makes out that it is all down to the walker. Quite often there isn't an alternative and/or you can't see the livestock when you enter the field. Cows may be 'curious' but they also kill people (with or without dogs) and should not be out on public rights of way when they have calves.

    Bulls of recognised dairy breeds (Ayrshire, British Friesian, British Holstein, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Kerry) that are over the age of 10 months are banned by law from fields containing a public right of way. Bulls over 10 months of any other breed must be accompanied by cows or heifers when in fields with public access. Make sure that any warning notices relating to a bull are displayed only when it is actually present in a field. Horses may be kept loose in fields crossed by public rights of way, as long as they are not known to be dangerous. You can be prosecuted if you keep any potentially dangerous animal on land crossed by a public right of way.

  • @DavidDon-ux9nm
    @DavidDon-ux9nm Před 3 měsíci

    The following is cut and pasted from Government Guidance on obligation of landowners and occupiers of land with R of W running across it. I suggest that a bull in a field with access to people legitimately using a R of W is not complying with Gov. Guidance. I agree with previous comment that of course dogs should be properly controlled and on a lead but if a bull is in a field with a R of W it should be fenced off, I believe bulls are potentially dangerous animals. Bulls of recognised dairy breeds (Ayrshire, British Friesian, British Holstein, Dairy Shorthorn, Guernsey, Jersey and Kerry) that are over the age of 10 months are banned by law from fields containing a public right of way. Bulls over 10 months of any other breed must be accompanied by cows or heifers when in fields with public access. Make sure that any warning notices relating to a bull are displayed only when it is actually present in a field. Horses may be kept loose in fields crossed by public rights of way, as long as they are not known to be dangerous.

  • @jasonwilliams5583
    @jasonwilliams5583 Před 3 měsíci

    Of course dogs should be on a lead and you should shut the gate - but it's the landowners that need to make sure people (and their dogs) are safe from livestock on rights of way. If a bull isn't safe to walk past it shouldn't be there.

  • @stephenholmes1036
    @stephenholmes1036 Před 3 měsíci

    Im.a shepherd please keep your dogs on a lead and train them around livestock. Always close all gates and if cows come up let your dog go, ignore the cattle. Please DO NOT FEED ANYONE ELSES ANIMALS.

  • @Hammers.grandad
    @Hammers.grandad Před 3 měsíci

    Wouldnt it be better to leave them until they're critically unsafe? They provide food for insects, birds, mosses and fungi. Is it another excuse to make money from the timber. Alot of the elm felled went to waste and is in carpenters yards rotten away. What about beaudeax mix? Has that been tried or has the the council bothered trying it.

    • @HampshireCountrysideService
      @HampshireCountrysideService Před 3 měsíci

      There are many Ash dieback research projects taking place across the UK by Defra scientists, Forest Research, universities, and many other organisations. At present there is no known cure for ash dieback. Due to the nature of the disease, it is not always possible to leave infected trees standing. Many of the trees are weakened by the disease which allows other secondary pathogens to attack, this means trees can fail via the roots or lose large branches before the trees are completely dead. Bordeaux mixture along with other fungicides are being looked at by scientists across Europe as a potential treatment, but at present no viable option has been found.

  • @Hammers.grandad

    I loved this. I was walking this exact walk, between White Hill and Ladle Hill (and down to the A34) this weekend. I really love the Wayfarer's Walk, and I am walking it for the second time (third and fourth time if you count the fact I walk it in both directions, to and from my car). This is a splendid stretch. I wish I had spotted the tree with the names carved in, but when I walk it for the fifth and sixth time, I shall : -) Thank you so much for making such a great video. I also think I will read Watership Down : -)

    • @HampshireCountrysideService

    another good tip when it comes to the direction of a bird is to go with a clock Especially good when sea-watching if a bird is at 12 O'Clock, call out 'to my 12 O'clock' and if you need to gauge distance, if there are no landmarks like buoys or boats, "close in", "halfway", "3 quarters" or "all the way out" are really good pointers. works for lakes as well. and if the bird is moving, obviously say which direction it's heading. another good tip is if another birder calls a bird and says direction, if they point out distance and position a good way to get it is to look all the way in the direction the bird is flying and scan back towards the opposite direction. so if someone calls a bird "heading left, halfway out". Face all the way to the left, and then start scanning right, halfway out and you'll meet the bird in the middle.
