As I was stopped by the roadside a friendly farmer on his way past told me that he had many donkeys in his field around the corner, to go and photograph them and that's what I did.
As I walked along the laneway, this friendly donkey came up to the gate followed by his companions and seemed happy to pose for a few pictures.
It's not the first time of course that I have photographed donkeys in Northern Ireland, here's one from the mountainous area in the south of County Armagh.
