Stunning image captured by photographer
This is the moment a keen amateur photographer captured a herd of cattle running across the heart of the picturesque Shropshire countryside.
Graphic designer Tom Blockley, from Alveley near Bridgnorth, shot the stunning image early on Sunday morning above a farmers field in Wall under Haywood, near Church Stretton.
The 34-year-old took the picture perfective photograph at around 5.30am with his drone, which he has been using for the past month.
He said: "I was out earlier that evening and on the way home when I saw mist coming in so I thought I'd go and have a look.
"I managed to fit the camera looking down and saw this track, so I tilted the camera about 45 degrees and suddenly these cows started walking along it.
"I've been using the drone for about a month now. I love landscape photograph and and wanted to get a different perspective. It gives you the opportunity to move around a lot more. You have much more freedom. Hopefully I won't get into any problems with invading people's privacy as well."
Tom likes to walk and hike across Shropshire and mid-Wales, taking his lightweight Sony camera wherever he goes.
Although it might just be a hobby at the moment, he is thinking about taking it more seriously in the next couple of years.
He added: "I've been pleased with the outcomes since getting the drone. I do a lot of walking and hiking, and the drone I've got can fold down so my main reason for picking that one was it was nice and light and I can take it with my camera.
"I'm a keen amateur photographer and do a lot of walking in Shropshire and into Wales as well. I've got quite a lot of friends in the horse community so I'm usually combining walking with taking pictures of people on horses.
"I will try and take it a bit more seriously in 18 months time but just enjoying it at the moment."
