All fine Wednesday

All 3 grazing on heather out in the middle of the heath around late lunch time - all looked well.

I left a lick for them and checked the trough which some kind person had already broken the ice for them.

An easy find today.  All in H6 at 1000 hrs taking heather and small firs close to the remains of a fire.. All fit and well.

Looked at 3.30 found all three grazing in C5. Clearing work has been going on here with remains of shrub clearance fire still smouldering. Cows quite relaxed grazing on heather and low gorse. Checked trough - thin ice removed otherwise working OK.

At 0945 hrs all 3 were in K7.  The boys grazing dead-looking grass and Teasel taking heather.  All fit and well.  Looks like the NEWTS on a task in the area this morning too.

Had a quick look this afternoon, very cold and slight snow on the ground . Found all 4 in the open area L4. looking a bit grubby but grazing OK. Does'nt seem much left to graze on but they were chumping away on dry grass and heather. Checked trough - working OK

Monday 14th

On Monday afternoon I popped into site and dropped off a lick for the cows. 

They were in the middle of the first block of heath and as I was driving up the track on the far side I saw them.

I put the lick in a shallow depression off of the track somewhat to stop it moving around to much.

All looked fine.

All spotted accross the track in the heather from K10

Dropped off lick in bracken just behind the 6 pine in K10.

Clever Clogs appears the thinnest of the 3 and was the most audiable (as usual) 😉 All looking well aside from that, tis the time of year, we're all getting a lil thinner in Winter, right?

Left them tucking into lick. Trough good.

All taking heather in K7 at 0930 hrs today.  All fit and well.

All in the gorse (M7) this morning at 10am. Had their heads down so only got a shot of their backs but all looked fine. Haven’t checked on them many times lately as not visited site much.  Tough all ok too.  Not sure who it was in the white van (Hants & IOW wildlife trust) that drove in from the railway bridge end just after 10 but guessing you also found them ok...I wasn’t quick enough to attract you attention to say hello

Monday 7th January.

All three were laying down in J11 when I arrived but soon got up when they saw the vehicle.

All looking well, I put a new lick out for them in the woods in H12 and they tucked into it straight away.

Looked at 3.30 and found all four lying down in H12 chewing cud. All looked quite happy - no problems. Checked trough, full and working OK.

Today at 1045 hrs in G12 browsing bramble in amongst the trees.  All fit and well

Wednesday 2nd

Found all 3 together, or I should say they found me as I came from the trough they excitedly met me the track junction as they come out the gorse
No problems with them looking well.
Nice to know they found and used the licks.
