Cows on path in H12  "truffling" in leaf litter. All fit and well. Bottom line, high tensile wire, of fence is down and broken in 2 places along this path.  But no risk of cows getting through. All barbed lines are good.

Friday 27th

 Walked around the outskirts of the site at 3.00 pm. No sign of cattle. Suspect they were hunkered down in the gorse for warmth. 

Trough OK

26th Nov - Bush Tucker

   Location: outbound.first.retail (H13)

All three in the deep thicket foraging. Didn't get too close to do a full check in order not to disturb. No obvious signs or issues

Tuesday 24th

Managed to round up the wonderer eventually heading to the trough to join the other two at 7:45am this morning. A little noise from two of them lol but I think that was due to many people milling about but all looking good, checked them all and no issues found. Trough all ok too but I am still concerned about the pedestrian gate as the latch doesn’t slam shut and it’s always open. What’s the status about replacing both pedestrian gates with kissing gates please?  I understood the funding was available a while ago...thank you

 Found all 3 grazing on gorse and the last of the grass in H11. They don't seem to have moved far from yesterday.

Trough full and working OK

 Found browsing gorse in H12. All 3 fit and well. First time I've seen the new boy (60) on the block; does he have a name?

Thursday Afternoon

 Found all three laying quietly chewing cud in I5.  Evan not quite joining in but close.

Wednesday 11th

 Saw all three walking through the trees in N8. They did'nt stop long enough for me to get a good look at them but seemed quite happy following each other chewing at the gorse here and there. Number 3 seems to have settled in OK.

Trough OK also.

3rd cow added to the pair

We have added a third cow to the group again. They might be a little more boisterous while they sort out who is boss for a few days.

Monday 9th

 Found both at 11.00 am at the far gate by the trough - trying to escape? Laying quietly chewing cud and looking healthy.

Trough OK too

None seen
