Had another incident with a dog walker letting their 2 dogs jump and scratch me, he let them do it continuously and as kept saying call them off and put them on the lead which he then argued with me about have his photo as he was aggressive and wanted to confront me as I walked off. Needless to say can’t understand the dog owners who use Caesar camp with no regards for the rules

Wednesday 18th March - All 25 seen

At 16:00 this afternoon, youngster 220 was grazing at the side of the path near ///shirt.cherubs.than, southwest of James Bond Pond. Steers 33, 35, and 227 were browsing leaves under the trees to the south. Youngster 227 was especially friendly, enjoying a long neck and back scratch. By the time I left the woodland, steer 30 had joined youngster 220, having previously been grazing in the sunken pasture to the northeast. All five were happy, relaxed, and looking well. At 16:25, steers 217 and 228, along with cow 234, were grazing in the sunshine near ///makeup.brisk.life, north of James Bond Pond. They gradually followed the track east, emerging through the gorse bushes into the pasture northeast of the pond. There, steers 20, 222, 230, 270, and 271, along with cows 72, 214, and 940, were grazing contentedly and enjoying plenty of heather. They were all very friendly, taking turns to come over, say hello, and enjoy strokes and rubs. Cow 940 relished a long neck rub, while youngsters 222 and 230 stood patiently waiting their turns. Both were very affectionate, offering gentle head rubs while enjoying long neck and back scratches. By 16:45, the cattle had moved northeast into the neighbouring pasture, where most continued grazing on the abundant heather. Cows 214 and 234 preferred the grass to the north of the path. I said my goodbyes shortly after 17:15, leaving them grazing in the sunshine near ///duties.ever.lazy. All eleven were happy and healthy. At 17:25, youngster 219 and five of the Sussex cattle were browsing gorse in the bushes near ///attic.bossy.ranks, south of James Bond Pond. Youngster 219 spotted me approaching and came out onto the path to greet me, keen for strokes. Steer 197 and cows 211 and 1396 soon followed, each greeting me before wandering off to the northwest, where steer 210 and cow 212 were nibbling gorse. The remaining two Sussex steers briefly appeared from the bushes to say hello before continuing to graze. By 17:40, I found steer 21 browsing leaves in the woodland to the southwest, appearing to enjoy some time alone. As I left him, I met Sussex steer 1640 heading to rejoin the others, who were now grazing in the heather near ///brew.span.directs. By 18:00, steers 21 and 1626 had joined the group. Youngster 219 came over again for more attention, thoroughly enjoying extended strokes and rubs. I said my final goodbyes at 18:30 as darkness fell. The cows were all good today.

Wed 18 March 26, (09.20 - 09.30) Saw Ten Cattle in P13

 I came across them while out mountain biking, (I'm a regular Hawley Common Looker), at the staggered crossroads in P13.

I don't know the cattle, but they all appeared to be fine.  They were initially heading west but turned on the track to the south.

 I counted them twice and made it ten and managed to get a photo of all of them.

Holiday date

 I am away next week in Swanage so unable to carry out looker duties on March 23rd and 27th

Monday 16th January - All 25 seen

All the cattle were good this morning eating the gorse, especially the Sussex’s who couldn’t have got further into the gorse if they tried. 222 was his normal friendly self enjoying a long back and neck rub.
