Sunday 26th February - All 11 seen

The cows were found in the area around ///resembles.skip.prevents at 09:45 this morning.  Cow 215 had been grazing, but she wandered over and stood in the sunshine, relaxing and chewing her cud.  Cows 214 and 234 were grazing in the gorse bushes.

Five of the ponies were relaxing in the sunshine in the southwest corner around ///frostbite.desks.best at 10:00.   Initially, four were standing and one lying down, but two others soon lay down too.  One pony was properly sprawled out.  The other three were in the far corner.  The original pony with the neckband had found the remains of the cow's lick and was kicking, biting and licking it.

The cows and the ponies were all good today.

Saturday

 Only found 5 ponies and 0 cows today despite spending ages looking. The ones I found were in the woods alongside the stream and looked fine.

The ponies were found in the area around ///earphones.cling.explain at 12:30 this afternoon.  Four were standing, the other four were lying down.  They were all very calm and relaxed.  After about twenty minutes, they wandered off to go grazing.

The cows had made their way to the far southwest corner by 13:30.  Cows 215 and 234 were lying down under the cover of the trees and holly bushes.  It was almost as though they knew it was going to rain :).  Cow 214 was standing near the fence line and ended up with her head in amongst some small trees, trying to come and say hello.

Wednesday 22nd February - All 11 seen

The cows were busy grazing in the area around ///cheater.explained.bubble at 12:30 this afternoon.  They were slightly damp but seemed happy enough.  They continued grazing in that area for a while before wandering along the path on the east side of Brock's Hill, where they started munching on gorse.

The ponies were all busy eating gorse from bushes on both sides of the path in the area around ///back.sleep.clef about 20 minutes later.  They were much drier than the cows.  They continued grazing the area until just before 13:30.  Several of the ponies then began to rest and relax while standing up, while one of them lay down.

There were no issues with the fences today and there was plenty of drinking water available.

"Pipeline" fence checked and ok yesterday

 I walked the fence line parallel to the pipeline works yesterday and happy to say the fence is fine. 

I spoke to one of the engineers working there, as machinery was rolling soil flat on the backfilled trench, to ask when they might finish and he hopes they will finish in around 1 weeks time. 

Didn't have time to check the livestock as it was going dark.

Wednesday 15th February - All 11 seen

The cows were lying down resting in the sunshine near the corral at 14:10 this afternoon.  They looked very relaxed and weren't bothered in the slightest by the heavy plant that was operating on the other side of the fence.

The eight ponies were all grazing in the area around ///press.mermaids.amends a short while later.  They too were happy and relaxed.

Three of them wandered off along the sandy path on the east side of Brock's Hill.  I followed and found the pony with the neckband from the initial four put on site, rolling around on her back having fun.   I'm not sure what spooked the other five, but they came thundering around the corner and ran right past causing the other three to run as well.

They ran as far as ///zest.rules.grading where they all calmed down and started to graze.  They were joined by the cows about fifteen minutes later.
