A rare breed cow has raised £550 for charity by simply doing what comes naturally.
Edna, one of the white park herd at Tilgate Nature Centre, Crawley, was the star of a cowpat competition organised by the Crawley Weald Lions group.
Members sold squares of a field at Tilgate Park from a grid pattern for £1, after which Edna was put into the field to attend to nature.
The owner of the square where the first cow pat fell, Christine McPherson, of Crawley Down, is pictured with Edna after receiving her £200 prize.
The remaining £550 went to the Opportunity Group in Southgate, Crawley, a playgroup for children with disabilities.
Group organiser Julie Beckley said the Lions' donation would keep them afloat until they could get further funding.
