Very few animals wander aimlessly across the landscape.
They follow trails and tracks, worn smooth by the passing of countless feet.
These trails always lead somewhere, they have meaning.
Moving from food sources to water, from sleeping places to shady places. From safety to visibility.
They form the script of daily animal lives.
At night the fox, hedgehog and badger follow scent and instinct.
During the day the horse moves about her daily living.
Ants and beetles are found here too.
As we follow the trails we unlock meaning and the natural world becomes visible to us in all its glory.
