12 on Bricksbury hill late afternoon 10 Apr

104, 111, 106, 81, 63, 84, 87, 91, 95, 75, 940 & 67 all well, at around 16:30 on Bricksbury Hill.

Early PM: at least 9 at southern end Sandy Hill making way northwards, second group half way between Water Tower and western extremity going west and too far off to count, third lot (4+) just to north of large gravel pit.

Fence/gate damage

The gate that leads onto the motorbike field has been forced so that bikes can get through on to Caesar's (and cattle can get out...).  Also, the fence next to the locked gate - the one onto Odiham Road - has been cut.  It's the top barbed wire, presumably so that people can climb over. 

Two removed

Two have been removed from site and relocated on Gelvert catchment area.

This was because number 56 learnt it could jump the fence by Sandy Hill and go eating grass on people's front garden.  Clearly this could no the continue.  If he stays put on Gelvert he will be fine, if he jumps out from Gelvert he will not be fine and will leave sites for good.  Number 114 went with to keep him company.

Some licks were put out on site to keep the condition of the animals as high as possible.

Elliott

Late morning - one small group on slope below Sandy Hill; another (at least 8) on open ground to west of large gravel pit; another (at least 3) among birch to north of same pit.

Incidentally I learnt that the cow which escaped yesterday was reported to Police as a bull (presumably on the basis that it has horns) loose on the streets of Sandy Hill.
