seen today at 1.50pm

All three cows were grazing amongst the fern near the fallen old pine in the heath field. The one with the c section scar is cut and bleeding just below the scar.the flies are interested in the little hole. It's not too bad but needs keeping and eye on for sure. X

magpie

If you look closely you can see the magpie on the head of the middle cow. They love it.second pic is the magpie on its favourite branch waiting for me to go away. Wish I had a better camera. X

today at 1pm

All three laying down resting in the main path thro the heath field, the magpies are once again cleaning their eyes, I really can't get over that, I've never seen the cows we looker for  (and I've been doing it for years now )get this friendly with the local magpie community. Wonder if the sa me ones. Love it.

Not found anywhere between 0900-1000 today.  The trough is OK but some people left the gate at the far end of the parking area (now blocked with fly tipping!!) open. I've noticed this before too. It needs to be slammed hard to close it.

Visited today at 1.30. All three were grazing around the pine trees in H5. Kit Kat sneezed and coughed twice while we were looking. Maybe she had swallowed a fly? She did not seem to be in any difficulty but we have not heard this before. There are still plenty of flies which they cope with. No sign of any problems.

All good.

I found the girls at the north eastern corner of the site eating low branches.  They all looked good with clear eyes and ear tags present.

The rain has clearly reduced the fly activity which seems nice for them.

All was looking lovely.

All three cows standing really still just by the gate near the trough. They were locking each other in a really tender way. Maybe that's how they say goodnight. X
