Late post for Friday afternoon

Found 13 grazing around the track below the slopes behind the Sandy Hills housing.  Very wet and bedraggled and very well spread out.  Loosing light so couldn't see tag numbers and there could have been a few more hiding in the gorse.  Those I saw were fine.

Another cracking looker refresher, found the cattle near Covered reservoir/ Bourley Rd.

All very well behaved once again and very nice to catch up with Hillary and Martin Andrews and Ivan! Bit rainy. 

Monday 4pm

155, 033, 072, 035, 168, 940, 159, 177 and others in the bush that we couldnt get to. On the south track of the hill top

Great refresher session with Jane and Carole this morning.

Wasn't meant to be on Caeser's of course but Velmead were playing hard to get! We found the whole herd spread among the woods around K24 Off that track with the gorse hill leading up to the lookout on its left. So i left a couple licks there.

All were looking very well and behaved wonderfully 😉 Mostly.

Late morning - came across six up near the Jubilee Clump on the 'Camp'.

Saturday 12.30

All 16 happily grazing and moving at the top of Caesar's Camp just before the look out and didn't think about the 3 word location (thanks for the reminder Jill).  will do next time : )

Friday 21 afternoon

Spied 12 from the look out - they were grazing on the heather and gorse slopes near the Bourley Road.  Couldn't see the remaining four but was too far away.  And Guy, sorry but I couldn't get a three word location !!

Late morning - came across 11 at northern end of Sandy Hill.

Tuesday 18th February.

Found all the cattle on the open heath around 21O this afternoon. All on fine form and looking well. Two fresh licks put out for them which they nibbled at briefly before moving on to some grazing.

Stormy Saturday

Found very nearly all the herd - one too few but he could have been well hidden in the gorse - all moving from around N21 towards the horse pond.  Looked a bit bedraggled but fine.  Glad they don't know what the weather forecast is for the next 24 hours!

Bright and sunny this morning

Bright and sunny this morning. We saw 5 cows in amongst the thick gorse at about N14. They were munching away happily and there may well have been others in the dense undergrowth. The sandy ground is a relief after all our muddy walks lately!

All spotted in 1 herd coming off Sandy Hill heading towards James Bond Pond

I have them 2 licks in the newly cleared area among some short gorse and bracken.

Herd looking really well. One of the larger steers fancied the BW heifer.. She was having none of it!

Another lovely day for a spot of fencing. Looker Ian reported a car that has been driven through the exterior fence off Sandy Hill. Reported to Opps room  who at this point were unaware of it. Let's hope they get somewhere with the Police and removing it, the exterior fence is a massive breech should the cattle get by ours that end. I've done the best i can.

Then there was the Bourley Rd Car Park shinanegans.

Propped up the strainer with 2 posts each. Will need strainer here at some point. 

Later on Friday 7

What a beautiful photo of the morning, and yes, the cows were around.  All the group was on the Lookout side of the Horse Pond late afternoon - all seemed fine.

Friday am

The cows must have found somewhere to keep warm, no sightings this morning

Another corner of a day! And helped by a nice MOD chap who spottspotted the herd.

All moving along Sandy Hill from James Bond pond end. A whole herd! So I dished out 2 licks a good 20m apart on the fire break. All looking very well with no concerns.

Had a nice chat to passing dog walkers, all very positive feedback on the cattle.
