Belated report from yesterday, twas quite the busy one!! All cattle now moved from CC to GCA.

Hello all.

So following on from the Blue-green algae testing in Horse Pond on Monday I got the call yesterday morning to confirm, Horse Pond definitely has one of the forms/strains of Blue-green algae. Can't tell at this stage how toxic or indeed if it is one of the toxic forms, but until further sampling happens, the advice is, STAY OUT! Not worth the risk!

The EA lady that came to do the samples has got onto the guys assessing the results about the longevity of this. essentially its weather dependant. What we need is a good deal of rain (looking good toay!), and a lack of sun. Further samples will be taken to monitor any changes. The moment we get the all clear, cattle will be back on.

Landmark are now on it to erect proper signs.

So! After my looker session with new lookers Tracy, Carole and Jane (days tbc), I spent the rest of the afternoon with Rosie (grazing) rounding up the CC herd (most of which were down at the Nissan Hut!!) and herding them through the GCA gate nearer Beacon Hill rd! We then filled up the feeder with hay in Camp 45 and tied open a field gate and pedestrian gate to give the herd access. They now have plenty of food and water, but more hay will need to be carted in as and when required.

So that's ZERO animals on Caesar's Camp now, and 24 on the Gelvert Catchment Area.

A favour:

I know its a big ask, but if anyone is able to extend their CC lookering to GCA, it would be most appreciated. I will send out emails after this for any confirmed volunteers for us. For those new to Gelvert, here is a lovely map! https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=c8c4bcab-72f9-4773-9c0d-8913b799d703&cp=51.249666~-0.818195&lvl=15&style=h&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027

Thanks for your time all.
