30th August

The cows are in H8   I could not see the Black Highland but there was a lot of big high bush in that area so I am sure she was in there somewhere..

All in M5, around the trees at 8:30 this morning. Heads down munching away, all looked fine.

No sighting of the girls this morning unfortunately.

Wednesday 28 August 2013

Found the cows heads down munching away happily in J3-K3 ,all looked relaxed and happy.

Tuesday 27 August 8:20 am

All in the woods at I3, seemed fine and peaceful.  Later they were walking along the lane by the railway towards the car park.

Monday 26 August 5pm

After failing to find them early this morning, Bambi and Jericho were eating oak, L10 and others sitting, L11. All looked fine.

I was not going without finding them today. Though, again, it was a challenge!  They were all deep in the woods, quite spaced apart at 10:50 between J3, K3 & L3, all with their heads down eating away, all looked fine.

All the girls at J8 looking good the black highland was a bit further away from the other looking happy too.

Unfortunately no sighting of the girls this morning. I was over there between 8:30 & 10am so they must be deep in the woods somewhere but I couldn't find them.

Monday 19th August - Site Check

Did a site check today and found Morag in K12 with the others just a short distance away in L13. All of them were on fine form and mostly relaxing in the afternoon sunshine. I dropped off a new lick by the trough as well.

All the girls in L9 at 10:40 this morning. Daisy sitting, the others standing chewing the cud. They looked fine from a distance as I was unable to get up close to them today.

16th August

All cows looking happy at K12  came out at 6pm

visited today@ 4.30pm

all the girls were scattered around in j6 and j7.All seemed well,Morag has soo many burs in her fur especially her fringe,it must be uncomfy but i suppose a plus is that she can see better. All seemed fine x

All easily spotted and looking good at around 1.30 today

Saw 4 grazing in L13 and L14, and greeted by the belted Galloway at the gate N13 :)

All in L11, Crumple standing, rest sitting, looked fine hardly any flies this morning.  Bambi's side looks much better.

NB. I am away next Tuesday

Motorbike on the 11th August

Today the 11th August I was walking my dog at 8pm and I saw a motorbike charging around the woods they came in a the entrance on N13 and the girls were at N11 looking good and eating we hung around for a bit not sure were the bike ended up.  I was worried about the cows to be honest.

I will call Elliott on the 12th in the morning I sent an email tonight he is away until 12th

9th August

We went out last night at about 7pm wondered around and couldn't find the girls they were obviously under cover some where!

Eventually found the girls at 8am this morning.  In M12 were Daisy & Jericho sitting together by the big tree chewing the cud. Nearby, also in M12 were Crumple (sitting) & Bambi standing. Morag was on her own a little way away from the others in L12.  They all looked quite contented & happy. I  noticed there were not as many flies buzzing around them which was good.

visited today @5.30pm

all the girls were lying in the trees and fernsround near the water trough in e15.They all looked really relaxed there where alot of flies,i do feel sorry for them,it must be soo annoying. Nice to see a new lick there and the water trough is fine x

Wednesday 07 August 2013

Found Jericho and Morag in L13 heads down munching away looking good Bambi and Crumple in L14 heads down munching away Bambi had a few flies on the mark on her side Cumple had a lot of flies on her face. Looked for Daisy but not able to find her she must be hiding.

Tuesday 6 August 12:40 success

Jericho and Daisy G6, others out of sight on the main path, F6.  As previously noted Morag has large number of flies on face and Bambi two fly covered wounds on her left side.

Tuesday 6 August 8:30 Failed to find

must have been hiding will try later.

Site Check Today

After Debbie's call this morning regarding the problems with Crumple and Bambi Keith and I made a visit to the site this afternoon to check things out. The mark on the Bambi's side doesn't look like an open wound but it is definitely attracting flies and causing some discomfort because of this. The grazier has been contacted about Crumple's eye problem and Bambi's side and they will be coming out to take a look in the week. They will administer some eye drops to Crumple and take a look at Bambi at the same time. Other than that everything was in good order.

Thanks to Ruth, I found the cows at 10:30 this morning, Jericho out in the open in L4 chewing away looking fine in the sunshine.  The others were deep in the woods in K3. Daisy was fine laying with head down on the ground, Morag had some flies on her face but nothing too bad today but did have lots of woodland stuck in her coat. Crumple was sitting down very still but with a weeping left eye again like last year with lots of flies buzzing around the eye area and lastly to poor old Bambi.  She was standing looking very irritated by all the flies and like yesterday afternoon, there were loads of flies around her.  I stood and watched for a while, she brushed away some flies from her side and there is definately, what looks like, a dark/black wound there to which the flies immediately returned.    I am concerned for these 3 at the moment so will make a quick call to the office first thing tomorrow morning and hopefully get them some attention.

At 6pm yesterday, Crumple, Bambi & Morag were together by the water trough in D15. Daisy & Jericho in E15.  I was a little concerned for Bambi as she had loads of flies buzzing around her face & left side of body which appeared to be bothering her.  I couldn't tell if there was a anything there or not.  Morag appeared to also be bothered by the flies too. I have not seen them so on edge for a while so will check on them again today.  Can we please keep a closer eye on these two over the next week...Many Thanks

Think they were playing hide & seek with me this morning! Eventually found them all together in J12 @ 8:15 by the trees. All chewing away, all looking fine.
