It was spring but still quite cold when I took this photo in the Holtingerveld nature reserve in Drenthe. A large group of Scottish Highlanders graze there and rumour had it that a calf had been born. Naturally, I was eager to see and photograph it with my own eyes. After searching for over an hour, we found the herd with mother and calf. It is always exciting and careful around such large and sometimes dangerous animals but they didn't seem to notice my presence. When the mother cow noticed me she went to check if the calf was nearby and safe and that was this endearing moment. Thanks to my telephoto lens, I was able to take a nice portrait of these beautiful animals from a safe distance.
