Belties!

Or to give them their Sunday name - Belted Galloways.

NLN, good to see that you've come across more of these, they are very photogenic aren't they. I remember FSS posting a piccy on one of his blogs some months ago. I think the grid reference that he gave me indicated that those were over in the Ormskirk direction.

We first starting looking out for these when we holiday'd on the Isle of Whithorn (like the Isle of Dogs, it's not an island, although it was, many years ago, but there the similarity ends).  Only saw a couple in Dumfries and Galloway, but now seeing more and more in the Lakes.

There are also brown ones (probably got a posh name for these), picture anyone?
