Our Sarah's blog today. All seen and accounted for in 3 herds

10 were found around D30 with another 3 not too far away, roughly around the H31 area. The final group of 9 seemed to be in the complete opposite direction of the other 2 herds (R4) and were seen resting up against some new Harris fencing near to where the contractors are currently working, moments after the fencing went up by al accounts ;)

Nearly all...

About 20 were spread in a wide area around M26 mid afternoon today.  I think the newbies were in a group together, slightly separate from the old timers.  All I could see looked fine.  Military vehicles had been replaced by a very annoying couple of noisy trail bikes.....

8 in the Gorse

We found 8 black cows in the tall gorse and shrub to the west of the Sandy Hill entrance. They seemed quite happy. The other 14 remained illusive. Much quieter on the ranges today, no vehicles or soldiers

Some have learned hide and seek already .....

I thought I was doing quite well until I just read about yesterday's additions!!  Found nine on the bottom track below Sandy Hills late this afternoon, though there was plenty of evidence of others in several other parts of the site.  Those I found were fine.

All found in 3-4 groups today. One group of 10 which I presume were the new arrivals.

I also had the pleasure of looking for some of them while leading a looker session with 3 Natural England Wardens Sarah, Karina and Nikki, we hope they will be able to help us out with a number of our sites, Caesar's being one of them : )

10 Extras Added

Today I have put another 10 Welsh Black crosses out. There are 7 heifers and 3 steers. I found the original 12 near the look out and introduced them to the newbies.
This takes the total up to 22.
Cheers, Jack

Wednesday morning

Again, no sightings east of the Horse Pond. The constant sound of chain saws, near the pond, might be putting them off going in that direction
