I only had time to take Sid for a short walk this morning, so we clopped up on to the Heath. As we turned off the lane I heard a zooming whine and thought OMG! A drone!
A drone it was, being flown over a large area of heathland by a large bloke. Sid was goggle eyed and I don't blame him, this little thing was zipping about across his eye line and making a high-pitched racket. I can't imagine he has seen one before.
I dialled down my anxiety to negative levels and let him have a good look. He grew by at least a hand, stood on tip toe and leaned backwards with all 4 legs, but he didn't move his feet. I was afraid the drone would come zipping towards us but fortunately it didn't and stayed at a distance, maybe 50m away. After a while I suggested that we walk on and he came along obediently.
As long as he could hear it, he kept looking back over his shoulder to see what was going on, but he didn't do anything bad other than stop a couple more times to get a better look.
I think he is a very brave good cob. He got lots of strokes.
