You would be forgiven for thinking you might have to venture a little further afield than Sussex to find big woolly beasts.
But highland cows live happily at a few places across the county, including at the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks reserve.
In the winter, the cows are cleverly camouflaged by the bracken, but as the spring arrives and their surroundings turn green it is a little easier to spot them.
Argus Camera Club snapper Suzi Sullivan got down to the reserve and took some gorgeous pictures of the hairy creatures.
The cows are not only beautiful to look at but also perform an important function at the nature reserve.
They graze on vegetation in a more sustainable way than using machinery and their dung attracts beetles and worms, providing rich feeding grounds for nesting lapwing in springtime.
At Pulborough Brooks, the small group of cattle make inroads into the birch, bramble and rushes and trample through the bracken in the winter, helping with the regeneration of the heather seedlings, ensuring that we get the habitat right for our heathland specialists
RSPB Pulborough Brooks, which is located off the A283 between Pulborough and Storrington, is open every day.
