Wed 30 Sep

 All seen up at the farm gate end. Firecrest was bellowing loudly with Fox joining in occasionally. Franco and Finch just looked on wondering what all the noise was about. Firecrest then strolled over to Fox for a cuddle. All looked well.

Tuesday early afternoon

197 off site

We have taken 197 off site and back to the farm. Hopefully will be back next week. The others all ok but have managed to get some of, a viral infection on there noses from being spiked by bushes. This hopefully will clear up but in the meantime it can be caught by humans so please be careful and aware if they come up and sniff you. Thanks

September 17

All well, by the farm gate. I talked to a chap who is already in touch with the Trust who will get in touch about being a looker. I won't be around on Monday...probably back on Thursday.

Wednesday 16 Sep

 None seen from the perimeter of the field.

Tuesday 15 Sept

As I walked along the tow path I spotted one cow in the deep undergrowth. Looked for ages but didn’t see the rest.

I keep getting bitten by ticks at the moment. I removed 4 of the little blighters from my left arm on Saturday. So until the tick season is over I will only look for the cows from afar. I won’t be venturing into the field.

The cattle drink is ok too, lots of chub in there today.
