Saw them all on Saturday only the bank near Bricksbury Hill. All looked well

All seen yesterday

Hello
I checked all of the cattle yesterday (Thursday) - they were on the plateau of Caesar's Camp itself.
All look very well, and in good condition.
Thanks
Alex

Saw the Cattle on the Sandy Hill track at 9.30am. all looked well.

Didn't see any Cattle today.

met the cattle 8/am they were in grids q/r/15/16 unable to get close today they appeared to be heading towards the flooded gravel pit

today 8/am I found the cattle they were both sides of the long bottom track ,two were in grid r/19 the other five were in grid q/18, I got up close to all of them they all looked fit and well the calf looks very strong,

Couldn't find them this afternoon. They are all very quiet, in the summer you heard them before you saw them.

I found the cattle 7/45 am they were on grids r/18 s/17 ,all seven were there the calf has grown a lot since I last saw it ,I got really close to all of them one at a time ,they all looked well no runny noses eyes all clear no injuries to legs or bodies, grazing on a variety of materials

Couldn't find the cattle this morning.

At last i saw the cattle this morning at 10.10 am where the film set were, i didnt get too close as the digger was still in action. But all seemed well.

East to west again but no sighting of cattle.

The film company seems to have been diligent in efforts to clean up the site. It would appear that there remains a comparative small amount of work to be done. One week ago I counted some 250 wheeled vehicles on this part of the area.

Hi Everyone,
What a miserable day it's been!
I found all the cattle today just beyond the film crew in S3. They all looked well and the calf is filling out nicely!

The other news that we wanted to make you aware of is that there was a diesel spill last night. The film crew where moving some lights mounted on a generator when they hit a tree stump and broke a fuel line. This has unfortunately seeped down to the pond around Q11. A clean up crew where called very quickly and have cleared up a large amount but there are still sand bags and floats in the water to prevent it spreading any further. We have spoken to the grazer and he is happy for us to leave the cattle on the area as he believes the smell and taste of the water is likely to put them off drinking it. There is plenty of clean water in the area. We will, of course be keeping a close eye on them and the clean up operation. Natural England and the Environment Agency have been informed of the spill and will also be monitoring the situation.

many thanks for your continuing help, especially in this weather!

Didnt see the Cattle again today.

Covered a lot of ground but no sign of the Cattle this morning.

Camera Shy Cattle?

On site checks today but failed to get a sight of any cattle, so perhaps they're hiding from the film crew as there is a lot of vehicle activity.(14.00) The NERT volunteers are out on site again this Wednesday (in Long Bottom from 10.00 or so, clearing Birch and Willow scrub) so we'll be able to have a concerted effort to find the animals then.

Transited area east to west thru' Jubilee Clump but without sighting any cattle.

Saw cattle today all looked well seems weird without all the other cattle

after looking every day since the new cattle were put on site I finally found them at 8/am today ,they were at grid l18 all seven were there, I noticed one black one trying to eat a small plastic bottle I managed to get it to drop it and move away ,I then picked up the bottle and it has now been removed from site all looked ok but a bit bedraggled due to all the rain

Saw all seven lying down on the top of Ceasars camp chewing the cud.

Full count

13.30, today all 7 were on Caesars cam at K20, they were all grazing and looked o/k

Didnt see the cows today, thought i heard them but it turned out to be chainsaws.

NERTs but no cows

We had a fine day scrub clearing with regular North East Reserves Team (NERT) volunteers and we were pleased to welcome Ivan who set to with bow saw and loppers. We'll be out at the same site again next week and would welcome any and all who'd like to help. Despite being on site all day not a sight of a cow alas.

No sign of the Cattle this morning.

Elliotts Site check report

Hello all,

I am on site checks this week and after driving around for an hour I could not find any of the cattle.

I did manage to find our contractors (greenleaves) starting to clear the scrub near to the covered reservoir n H17. They will be on site for a number of weeks and will be heading up to the Caesars camp section of the site to clear the iron age ramparts next. That should really help them to stand out and see what is what.

We are clearing scrub down in H28 on Wednesday if anyone fancies coming and helping to cut some scrub or load a big bonfire.

best wishes

Elliott

I thought I counted 8 head which all appeared to be steers at the top of Long Bottom an hour ago. Anyway all 7 (8) appeared to be in good order.

The film is 'Frostbite' - one of Capt. Marvell episodes apparently.
