A few more!

 Early evening and five were grazing around the dragonfly ponds in the pit area near the entrance to Beacon Hill.  They included 198 and two of the older brown and white Shetlands.  They all seemed fine.  I biked over the rest of the site but couldn’t find others.  The rubbish around the fishing lakes at Gelvert was awful.  Unfortunately I didn’t have a bag with me. 

Mon 31st May 6 seen

 At some point from our last sighting they have gotten together and split up again 'cause the British white 940 is now with 5 of the long horns. Grazing by James Bond pond were 020 and 030, 940 was on the ridge on the other side of the path and 021, 033, 035 were feeding on the boggy area on the other side of that. All looked well. When will they be rounded up for the TB results? Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Wednesday 26th may

 Found 8 on caesars round the back of James Bond pond, 196 included. All fine.

The other 2 youngens are on gelvert still and also fine.

Better weather for them (and me) today too. Saw a dartford warbler and a wheatear too. First dartford for me so pretty exciting 

Tuesday 25th May. Eight found.

 Eight found between the open area and Bourley Road - 1940, 72, 33, 35, 20, 196,  21, 30

Happy as can be.

Monday 24th May

Could only find 6 down by horse pond, all good. 

One of the gelvert 3 (196) was wondering on its own looking a bit lost but no other issues. Found the other 2 actually in gelvert grazing by the fishing pond. 

Will be back later in the week to try and find the rest.

 9 found in total 

0900 Mon 24th May, 7 found

Walk started with a rain/hail down pour, lovely!! We found 7 cows, 020, 021, 030, 033, 035, 072, and 940, at approx lookers map L23.  They looked well, a bit frisky. We also saw a heron at Horse pond. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

0900 Fri 21st May 15 seen

We found 15 around the reservoir moving passed the gate, which now has a padlock, and up towards James Bond pond. No sign of the Gelvert 3. All looked well if a little dirty (023) from paddling in the mud. Two of the fence posts working up the hill from the reservoir gate need looking at. Photo of the one at ///other.inherits.spell and there is one further up in the same condition. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Twelve

 Litter picked around the bunker on Sandy Hill this morning, we scored four black bags, a garden chair and cushion, a football, Christmas tree lights and 12 cows. Most were settling down to rest in the sunshine the others still eating. All looked well. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

0900 Mon 17th May All seen

 We think we saw all of the cows spread out along Sandy Hill and the area between that and James Bond pond. Just missed 035 swishing her tail as I was taking a photo at the time, of cause she wouldn't do it again. The Gelvert 3 were together and no tag was trying to get at a bush on the other side of the fence. She was there for at least an hour pushing very hard. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Sunday 16 - first thing

 Not a cow to be seen on the parts of Caesar's that I was on, but 194 and 198 happily back on Gelvert, near the fisherman's reservoir. 

0900 Fri 14th May 6 found

 Six, 023, 033, 147, 168, 176, and 177, found on Sandy Hill. At 08:48 we saw 033 who had found a piece of lick and was not sharing for love nor money, at 10am she was still chewing on it. None of the others seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Tuesday 11th May. All found

They were in two groups - nine and nine. One lot straggling up towards Sandy Hill, the others near the top pond. All well. Got right behind no 35 but she wouldn’t lift her tail! Looked very clean though.

Monday

A bit of fun yesterday tracking down two who had taken a busmans holiday into the GCA to graze that for a bit. Got them back to Caesars. A gate near the water works facility had been left open. Ive reported ito the Landmark. All back together lookiing well!

0900 Mon 10th May All found

 We saw 16 on the Ceasers Camp side of the gate to the reservoir. The other two, 914 and 198, had escaped through the gate because it had been left open, lock and chain missing. Ian has made sure they are back with the herd. All looked well, 035 has her tail clamped tightly to her bum so nothing can be seen. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

0900 Fri 7th May None

 Sandy Hill to Shell garage, through gorse to main path, passed James Bond pond, across to look out point, down through woods to Horse pond back along long bottom to Sandy Hill. No sign of a single cow. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

One cow to monitor #35

 #35 had a report of potentially a little prolapse, I have checked him and there is a little something there but it's hard to tell. 

If anyone finds him and can safely be behind him at a distance, can you give it a check? Don't put yourself in a dangerous position though as they are wary of people behind them. 

Many thanks

Tuesday 4th May

 Found 5 on the high grass ground near long bottom, just uphill from the covered shed. Found another 11 at the top of sandy hill near the pillbox.

Eventually found the other 2 from gelvert inside gelvert near the badger way entrance area. Pulled them back across into caesars.  

Tuesday 4th May. Sixteen seen.

 Two groups - one near the pavilion/Bourley Road (20, 21, 23, 30, 72) and the rest all lying down by Sandy Hill estate with the exception of  194 and 198. 

Bum of 35 looked a bit unhealthy. Blood, and something slightly protruding?
