More cows and calves

Hello
The farmer has put on 16 more cows and their calves, making a total of 32 cows and 33 calves on site.
Thanks for all of your help.

All in Long Bottom opposite Sandy Hill estate and appeared to be in good order.

Some fool has cut down a couple of birch to build a fire near the oak copse in this part. Judging by the condition of the litter this would have been in the last few weeks i.e. during the very dry conditions we have experienced recently.

Noted that the top, barbed, wire by the gate off Cranmore Lane has been cut.

8 am I saw all of the cattle they were lying down where the now dismantled troop shelter wasthey all looked contented so I kept my distance so I did not disturb them I watched for around 10 mins then left for home

I found what appeared to be all of the cows and calves on the south side of the Long Bottom track at R17 this morning. It was very difficult to count as they were lying down in a tight group with the calves between them but I counted at least 15 adults. The very small calf was the only one standing. All seemed well.

Saw another half dozen adults grazing NW of horse pond. Probably they are all there in a diffuse group. All looked fine.

13 calves and 9? Adults in woods west of pond 6.08

3 cows just south of horse pond on slope. All adults. More in view on slope up to Caesars camp proper 6 pm

P19 at 9.10am

Counted 24 the rest could of been further back in the trees, all looked well.

Spotted cows around horse pond at 7pm. First sighting in ages; forgotten how hard they are to count! 14 cows, 8 calves ... Probably!

Counted all 33 Cows and Calfs, on the move heading towards the top pond from Caesars Camp.

About 11 AM 28 cows/calves at western end of 'Tail' - all quiet.

at R12

Visited yesterday, counted 12 calves and 16 cows. All look healthy and not stressed.

R17 at 0915 all present

Stumbled across two sleeping calves in long grass to the side of the path. Their mums then found me as they thought I was too close. They came running followed by the main group and were very vocal until another walker's dog started barking. I think I counted 33 but I'm not certain. All looked to be in good health.

7/30 am saw cattle grid p/20 most were lying down I managed to count 20 ,10 cows 10 calves I watched for some time ,the cows then started to get up and stand under the oak tree they all appeared to be contented

All three in 'putty' pit at western end of Tail. Cow has very fine markings now particularly evident and calf is a very good looking specimen.

No sighting today, they may have moved on for the whale tail.

T8 at 10.05am

All three were in a wooded area. Two were grazing on lush grass, the calf was lying down, all seemed happy.

what a surprise to find we have a new arrival on site I hope to find them soon,as I was walking my dog at 8/30 this morning I was on the top of the bank above the windy gap area I saw a hare running across towards the pavillion end in all the years I have been walking the area this is the first time I have seen a hare

Strange messages!

Dear All,
One of our bloggers reported a window opening as they entered the blog stating'what if I lost my google account'. It then asked them to fill in some information (which they didn't do) the blog then automatically came up as usual. If this message appears we would recommend that you do not fill in any personal details and just wait for the blog to kick in.
I hope that you are all well and still enjoying the sun....although the weekend seems to be promising some much needed rain!
Many thanks
Lucy

Saw all three in the pit area of the whales tail. All looked well, the calf was very cute.

New arrival (rather unexpected!)

Hi all,

Keith and I were at the site today and managed to locate cow and calf in the whale tail (my first sighting of them finally!). Much to our surprise a new born calf trotted out of the vegetation behind mum! It appears that we now have a family of three! We suspect he was born either last night or the night before. We will inform the livestock owners of this new development and see where to go from here! Meanwhile the new calf looks very perky and is steady on his feet. He allowed me to get close enough to get a quick photo but was a little wary which is probably a good thing.

Thanks

Vicky
