On a recent walk at Upolu, the wind was very light, an unusual occurrence in that area. As I walked past the cattle pasture, I got a long stare from this one. But it turned out, irritating as I can be, the flies were a greater bother. The whole herd was engaged in some vigorous tail swishing to very little effect. Luckily the winds returned the next day and most of the flies were blown away.




Poor beasts. Wind is annoying, but it has its purposes

Yes, the trade winds are also our air conditioning.

They were all over the cattle, though I’m told that back in the day, before cattle egrets were here, they used to be much worse!
