Hungarian Grey Cattle at Lake Balaton

Last Year in May I had the luck that I was able to visit Lake Balaton in Hungary for a short holiday trip. We rented a house where we stayed for a week and from this holiday house we started our trips to the different interesting locations around the lake. One of these locations was this pasture with the grey cattle. Eating, sleeping and lying on the ground is their main activity. We were hiking to their spot over a nice meaddow and stayed there for some pictures of the cattle and also some birds that flew around there. The bird activity was not that great, some where singing but seeing them was a bit difficult.

When I saw them I was a bit fantasizing about the good meat and a steak they would be, but because I know there are only a few of them left, I prefer some other cow steak at least some time. I don't eat steak that often anyway but when I do I prefer a very good one. The Hungarian Grey Cattle are attraction there near Lake Balaton, so quite some people are visiting them to watch them. In the early morning we were alone there but a little later the first people came to see them so we decided to change the spot and visit the next birdphotography spot.
