I'm sure by now most of you have seen the photo's on my profile of the Cowboy! well the day started normally I packed all the kit into my bag and walked to the site, I was going to use another area more private but there was just too many reeds and Id' need to return here next year to start making paths.

With No one around I geared up in my jock, skinny tight jeans shirt and jacket and yes I was also wearing Cowboy boots although you can't tell from the pics, the walk back down the path was a challenge as I kept slipping in boots with a heel. I ended up walking to my site B.

Upon arrival I set up my camera and as you will see from the pics I wasted no time and got muddy! the mud was lovely the top foot was super soft and silky with the layer below being m ore thicker clay, if I had wanted a few meters to my right the mud there is around 3 to 5 feet deep with much the same thickness - although climbing out needs help.

After the shoot I walked back but heard voices walking towards me so I jumped into the reeds and watched as two guys dressed in branded clothing as Marsh wardens walked past! phew that was lucky! I would of been caught - but I got out and jumped in a puddle to clean the tick off before heading back to the car! a quick change of clothing and I saw on a nearby bench as the wardens came out with puzzled faces. One of the walked over and asked if I saw anyone coming out the reeded area! Nope sorry I said. No matter said the fit looking guy in his late 30's with a bulge in his pants. It looks like someone was rolling around in the mud in front of our game camera - anyway thanks.

As he walked away my heart sank! oops! getting in his car he looked over and smiled at me - I think he knew! maybe id meet him again one day..
