Tuesday 27th April. Nine seen.
Six (159, 165, 168, 176 194, 196) up by the Sandy Hill estate. Three (23, 33, 35) up towards the top pond. No others to be seen up there or around the pond. Later I saw three (from a distance) down by the lower pond, but I think they were from the first six.

Tuesday 6th April
Found all 18 in 3 groups. Gelvert 3 were at the Bourley road GCA/CC cattle grid, after apparently jumping over. Found and fixed the fence.
Next 10 were near horse pond and the other 5 just along the track from horse pond. All well, if a little ticky .
Tuesday 6th April. Three found.
The Gelvert three were by the Bourley Road/covered reservoir but the others nowhere to be seen. They must have been on the Sandy Hill/ Beacon Hill Road side because I looked everywhere else.

Slightly later on 2 April
Saw 10 at S14 mid morning on Good Friday, may be a few had joined since the earlier sighting?
A section of fencing neighbouring Gelvert (at Chugging grant counter) is looking weak and broken in places. A cow intent on breaking into Gelvert could certainly get over at that point.
0900 Fri 2nd April 14 found in 2 groups
First group of 8 found at approx L16 on the Lookers map and later at James Bond pond. Second group of 6 at approx S14. All looked well. That leaves 030,165,177, and 196 not seen. Stay Safe, Happy Easter, Marina & Des
