They just appeared. It must have happened some nights ago. A local taking a walk first saw them.
Since then, these things kept staying in the pasture, showing a behaviour that can’t be described in other words than “grazing” - but without actually doing it. From what can be said, no communication attempt has been noted. Only, a deep and subtle humming can be noticed when getting closer. People are unsure if this humming can be heard or rather sensed or felt.

Inspired by a roadtrip through Scotland and the scottish highlands I recently returned from.
Lada by INuruhusssen over at Blendswap, modified by me.
Recycled the mechs from an older project. They are kitbashed from a set.
Vegetation partly CC0-licensed, partly paid and partly custom made.
This reminds me of a trip to Algonquin Park years ago. By the side of the road was a moose cow with its calf. And somebody had left their car with their point-n-shoot camera (this predated ubiquitous smartphones) and was walking further and further towards the two to get a closeup of the cute li’l baby moose.
Uh, no.
This scene gives me precisely the sort of shudder I got then. Well done!
Thank you and yes, I had a similar situation being the inspiration but instead of a moose it were sheep flocking the road and one car had stopped right at the roadside to take some pictures of the sheep “blocking” the lane
Here is the “Behind the Scenes” article of this amazing artwork!
Do check this article written by the artist himself. It describes the process of making the artwork step by step with an insight on making realistic scenes in Blender
