Tuesday

I found the 15 originals down on the sandy open area near the queens pavilion and the 4 whites up by the dead tree pond. slight limp on one but not to bad will keep an eye on it

0845 Mon 28th Sept, slight limp and more damaged fence

A large group on Ceasers Camp and the rest at Sandy Hill. No tags was with 940 and I think 035 being very boyish so we didn't get to close. Mostly the rest were eating acorns but they all looked well except 198 who seemed to have a slight limp left rear leg. More damaged fence at approx ///tinsel.shun.somebody. see photo. Wow I think we saw all of them today. There was an unmarked blue van on the common see photo. Stay Safe, Marina & Des 

1 put back on site.

Little black shetland back on site after a lovely holiday away.

0915 Fri 25th Sept damaged fence

 The fence is damaged next to the gate at ///woes.crumples.desire. See photos. We found the youngsters at approx ///bubble.leaned.narrating heading off into the woods. They seemed fine although there was a lot of pushing and shoving between 195 & 196. None of the others were seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Wednesday eve

Just a handful - looks like the same group as found yesterday - 940, tagless, 23, 168, 177, 33 and 35 all seemed well and were ambling around in the large sandy area towards the Tesco end, ignoring the army exercises taking place around them.  

1 off site

We have taken 176 off of site and back to the farm for a test needed. Hopefully he will be back next week some point. 13 seen in total including 2 from over the fence.

Only found 5! Tuesday 22nd

Sorry for the late post. Yesterday, I found 168, 176 and 177 moving along Long Bottom snuffling up acorns (not seen this before, thought it was only pigs that ate acorns!).  35 was deep in the bushes browsing birch leaves but eventually emerged for me to have a good look and then 30 sauntered up. All looked well, but these were the only ones I found in 3 hours!  

Monday 21st September

 4 young ones and a shetland found under open barn at natural.texts.stable near Bourley Road. 

20 and 35 found at broad.pocket.stammer.

Another 6 found at the pill box on sandy hill.

Rest not found, will return tomorrow. 

0845 Mon 21st Sept

 We found 020 Bertie and 035 Buzz by the Cranmore Lane gate where there is a loose fence post shown in photo. None of the others were seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

0915 Fri 18th Sept

 No cows today. Spent 2hrs litter picking around the Bourley Road car park end of the fenced off area. We have a concern about the run off from the contaminated site which looks like rust but may not be. Even if it is rust should the cows have access to the water coming off that area? Photos from approx ///tight.swaps.fade. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Found 11 this afternoon including 4 of the six that Rich did not see s only two of 19 have not been seen this week

Wednesday 16th September

 Spotted  8 cows in the undergrowth (may have been more) at 10.30 in the dip down from Sandy hill.  3 words location: making.almost.public

Tuesday am

Only spotted a couple, from the sounds, it would appear that they are spread out, amongst the trees, all round the open area behind the Pavillion 

09.30 Mon 14th Sept

 We didn't see any cows this morning. Usual walk from Sandy Hill around the almost dry pond and James Bond, over to Caesers Camp where we have a good look. Down through the woods to the Horse pond and back up the slope to Sandy Hill. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Thank you

 Our thanks to Susanne, Graham and Rich for your help with identifying the caterpillar.

Thank you, Marina & Des 

0900 Fri 11th Sept

 The cow in the first photo seen with the 2nd group has no tags.

We found Edward 176 with 5 more near Horse pond ///striker.debut.panoramic. Then 6 or 7 more, including 195 one of the G4, coming from the shed approx ///bend.tins.stove heading towards the large open sandy area. All of them seem were eating and looked well. None of the other youngsters were seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Wednesday 9th September

 4 (including 195) at shell garage entrance at 09.00 and then 8 near the look out at 09.28.  All happily grazing.

Tuesday 8th September.

Found all the cattle spread over a wide area all around the horse pond and Long Bottom vicinity this afternoon.

A couple of them have quite a few ticks but other than that they're all fit and well.

08.50 Mon 7th Sept

 We found the G4 making their way to ///croutons.extreme.dignitary where we also found a large caterpillar photo below 50p for size reference does anyone know what it is, we are sadly lacking in knowledge in this area. The youngsters same well eating and not bothered by flies. We then carried on round to Caersers Camp and found 4 from the herd, Bertie, Barry, Balti and Buzz, ///slick.betrayal.skidding. again eating well and no flies to speak of. Barry was enjoying an oak tree, having a scratch and eating any part he could reach.

Stay Safe, Marina & Des

 2 cows grazing happily near the water nearest to the Shell Garage - 3 word location - Branching.rash.fail at 11.15.  At 11.45 8 cows 10 metres from the shoreline diagonally opposite.  All happily munching away

Sat 11.31

 Took a weekend trip but found the GCA 4 this morning along side Sandyhill Estate.  

All well 

0900 Fri 4th Sept

 We found the Gelvert 4 ///easily.pinch.acting near James Bond pond, there was very little fly activity. We saw none of the others from the look out point, Horse pond or Sandy Hill.

Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Wednesday eve

Five, including Edd and Electra were grazing on the top near the Lookout at about 8 this evening - getting too dark to see the numbers but they all seemed fine.  No sight of the others.  Lots of runners everywhere on Caesar's this evening. 

Tuesday 1st

 Found the original lot all in two groups. 

A group of 4 were down on the large open sandy area and the other 15 were right up the other end of the site spread along the concrete cobble track.

All looked well.

 Seven, all black/white, at south end of Sandy Hill and moving north.
