All 20 found to south of Gravel Pit on Sunday 28th June in the morning. Herding and looking well.
3 children (approx age 10 years) chased the herd. They were on their own with no parents to be seen. I had a quiet word with them and asked them not to do it again and explained why the cows were on the common. They promised that they would not chase them in future.
No signs of damage to fences or of motorbikes.

Alister! Wow, nice blog mate.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to say you are now the second looker that has noted this kind of behaviour.. And both of you (Jill this includes you) have our thanks for stepping in the way that you did, much appreciated. This kind of abuse needs to be noted on our incident form as evidence so it really is important to report this. Its such a shame that it's happening, but I'm hoping these are 'teething' issues. Only time till tell. I will let the appropriate authorities know.
