Found a large group (11) near the gate onto Beacon Hill early this evening - perhaps they were keeping clear of the army activity that was around the Camp area. They looked fine and to be enjoying the rapidly growing grass. Hope the missing one was somewhere close by.
Interested in the comments about the dogs on two counts - I found a dead deer a couple of weeks ago close to the fence near the stile down to the drained reservoir, it looked as if might have had a cut (bite?) on its rear, it was a sad sight. And around the same time I saw one of the Shetlands chased by a labrador (who I tried to chase away).
Perhaps some of the dogs need keeping an eye on - with Long Valley having limited access, there seem to be even more dog walkers on Caesar's.

My guess is that you saw a black labrador with a bell on it’s collar. I walk my dog over there most days and meet a lot of dogs, the vast majority are well behaved and keep to within a couple of metres of the tracks. Having said that, I know of at least three dogs that are allowed to roam over wide areas and tend to chase the cattle and wildlife.
