August 31

All well. The middle gate was open but no signs of excursion in the north enclosure, only an abandoned mask from the person who left the gate open and I found the cattle not far from the water. I shut the gate.

Nil spotted

Seen in passing..looking well.

Saturday 22 Aug

 4pm

All seen grazing in the right hand corner of the middle of the field. In this area there appears to be an old/new dumping site of broken bottles and other broken glass items. The cows were particularly interested in this area. It needs to be made safe before the animals injure themselves.

Tuesday 11th August.

They were all laying in the shade by the kissing gate this morning. There was a bit of excitement when they realised that there might be a treat in the offing but they soon calmed down - likely due to the heat!

All four looking really well, plenty of water in the cattle drink too.

August 10

All well, browsing near the farm gate. Finch has a small bald spot right neck and a tick uner the right elbow. otherwise they are pretty tick free and only moderately bothered by flies.

Nothing seen

Plenty of water and the usual fish

August 3 All well...how do you make this blog work?

Aug 2 4pm
All seen happily grazing
Carole

All seen close to the fence along the Canal. All seem relaxed and were grazing among the trees.
Noted the canal is very low on water and the flow to the stream along the site is barely a trickle. There is still enough to keep the watering holes filled but we should watch this if the drought continues it could become a problem.
