Saturday am

No sightings of the cattle, but the contractors were hard at work providing a smoke screen.

Lovely afternoon

Cold and crisp on the ranges this afternoon. Lots of activity from the contractors clearing the gorse and shrub around the Horse Pond. A lot of clearance work up near Folly Hill. The paths are very messy from the vehicles being used. But no cows seen I am afraid. Perhaps they have moved away from the noisy works.

All 22 seen

Hello all.

After the work party today I drive round to see the contractors and cattle.  Could not find the contractors but all 22 cattle by the ClearedHeath by beacon hill road.

All their eyes were clear and ear tags present.  They all looked on great condition and were very calm indeed.

Morning visit

First thing today there were three at M19 and another 14 heading purposefully westwards at about R14.  They all looked okay.

Only 10 checked

I visited Caesar's Camp today between 10:30 and 13:00. I found 8 at the path junction at P22 and two at the top of the hill at Q22. All were happy and healthy. I noticed that 500081 had a golf ball sized crusty lump at the top of its tail. ?00095 had a wart on its nose. Probably nothing, but just thought I'd mention it.

When I was driving back from Brock's Hill I noticed a gaggle of at least 6 near the gate at P3, 'fraid I didn't stop to check them, but will make a note to wander up in this direction in future.

P.S. Don't know if anyone else has reported this, but there is a most unpleasant sight on the main track from the view point area out towards the east of the site...the portaloo has fallen over and the 'contents' has escaped! I won't post a pic of that!

All 22 found

12 found at G17, 8 found at G20 and 2 found at N19.

Found a few

On a morning when even the ducks were taking cover, found one lone brown cow at 23F and another nine at 16G.  The group included the white one with grey/black markings and they all seemed calm and content, if decidedly soggy,
