Afternoon visit. 15:20. Small group of 8 still in the whaletail - 4 adults grazing in the pit, 2 Adults plus 2 calves sitting by the mast enclosure. All looked fine. I noticed that the blue barrel is now gone from the whaletail.
16:00. Eventually found a large group spread out between horse pond and the 2 blue barrels.
7 adults + 6 calves around the pond grazing.
A few individuals spread out amongst the tall bracken and up the hillside.
4 adults by the blue barrel in the open.
Then a large gathering around the blue barrel in the woodland, I originally counted 6 adults plus 12 calves, but they were soon joined by more - these could have been new ones, or ones from the pond I'd already counted. All looked well, sheltering from the increasingly grotty weather I imagine. There was a lot of calling between the barrel group and those scattered around the pond.
Grey calf was once again being very cute.

Saturday 10.00, today i found 3 groups, 8 were in the whale tail grazing at Q4, 25 were at O17 lying down chewing the cud and a further 19 were at J21,22 grazing, all looked o/k.

Filming on Caesars Camp

I was on site yesterday acting as a guide to a filming crew who are making a DVD which we will be able to use to promote the rural nature of the area in the future. The view from the Camp was incredible and we found sundews, heath spotted orchids, bog asphodel and lousewort as well as swathes of cotton grass which all looked outstanding in the glorious weather.

on a journey round I managed to count 14 cattle spread out very thinly near to the Horse Pond.

Wednesday 08.30, due to a problem with my bike i was only able to cover the whale tail and down to Caesars camp and did not find any cattle today.

Tuesday 08.15, today i only managed a count of 33, they were roughly at grid R10, most were lying down chewing the cud and all looked o/k

Monday Evening

When we started our walk at about 18.30 all but one of the cows and calves were to the NE of the Horse Pond at L27. A single cow and calf were at roughly K24. By about 19.30 the large group were grazing to the south of Caesars Camp Fort M20/21. All appeared to be well.
