The Hungarian Grey Cattle is an endagered species of cows that live around lake balaton and ins ome areas of Hungary. I just read that the species was pretty endangered just some time ago but due to efforts of the Hungarian Government the numbers are increasing again. I found them at Lake Balaton where there are some herds of these cattle situated and it was possible to get close to them with the safety fo an electric fence and eventhough they have very large horns somehow their behaviour is very calm. 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.
