It is always interesting to see how animals use their instincts to adapt and survive – dogs, cats, cows, chickens and donkeys.

I use the donkeys as sundials. It got cold this morning, and when it gets cold, the donkeys array themselves like solar panels directly in the light of the sun, and their wide bodies soak up and absorb the heat. During this warm-up, they are still, like statues, immovable, ancient, almost mystical. I can always tell where the sun is in the winter by looking at where the donkeys are standing.
