29th September. All seen.

 All the cows were very widely scattered on the slopes below Caesars’ fence line. All looked good though I couldn’t get very near a few.

All the cows were good this afternoon.  They were really widely spread over the site in their four groups today!

Saturday 24th September - All 25 seen

Youngsters 219 and 221 plus yearling 241 were seen at ///widen.shine.sleeper at 15:20 this afternoon.  Cow 221 was lying down, relaxing and chewing her cud.  The other two looked like they hadn't long got up.  Cow 219 had lots of flies on his face.  Yearlings 247 and 257 were grazing a bit further round the path at ///downcast.viewer.shopper.

All the cows were good this afternoon.

Friday 23rd Sept. Sadly only 8 seen (twice)

 They 30, 213, 219, 220, 222, 226, 228, and 245, were in the thicket by the gate to Camp 45 and an hour later walking single file along the path that is separated from the lake by a stand of trees ///record.eyelash.bandstand. They were on a mission and had no time to wait for the 8th in line who had stopped for a nibble. They looked well with few flies to bother them. During the intervening hour and after it none of the others were seen or heard which is disappointing as it would of been nice to see them all. Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Thursday 22nd September. Ten seen.

 Well they obviously had had enough of all been more or less together. Seven (20, 21, 20, 33, 217, 221 and  245) were right up the top  by the  Caesars fence line, and three (228, 247 and 248) down by the main fishing lake. Still a fair few flies on their faces but generally well. The other 15 were nowhere to be found.

Wednesday 21st September - All 25 seen

For the first time in a long time, the cows were more or less all together in the same place at the same time. Cows 21, 33, 72, 213, 217, 219, 221, 222, 226, 241, 242 and 940 were all in the trees by Camp 45 at 15:50 this afternoon. Youngster 219 was lying down relaxing, while the others were initially standing chewing their cud before some others lay down too. Youngster 235 and yearling 238 were lying down in the bracken opposite. Older cows 20, 30 and 35 were grazing in the thicket around ///convert.dialects.soothing close by. Youngster 220 and yearling 245 were hunting for acorns in the trees at ///wolves.sending.pulled beside Bourley Lane. Youngsters 228 and 230 plus yearlings 244, 247, 248 and 257 were all happily grazing in the area around ///fillings.flannel.printout. All the cows were good this afternoon.

20th Sep - All 25 seen

All 25 seen after a great deal of searching. They'd split into 3 groups of 16, 5 and 4 respectively. The 4 (all youngsters) took some finding but found tucked away behind thick vegetation near the main entrance with Caesar's. All seemed well.

Mon 19th 17 seen

Monday 19th September Only 16 seen. FYI Des and I will be away from Sat. 24th to Tues. 18th Oct. for 4 Mondays and 3 Fridays.

 The 16 were all moving between the 2 lakes. We first saw 020, 072, 217, 219, 220, 226, 228, 235 and 940 by the fishing lake at approx ///such.statue.grasp. Later another 6, 030, 033, 221, 222, 245, and 248 were seen around ///slurping.uniform.swerving. by which time the first group were coming through from the other lake and had been joined by 035. They all looked well and were grazing from the ground and trees. Not seen are 021, 213, 230, 238, 241, 242, 244, 247, and 257.  Stay Safe, Marina & Des

Thursday 15th very late post- all seen and well!

Sunday 18th September - 21 seen

Yearling 248 was grazing around ///pimples.dancer.primed at 09:35 this morning.  Youngsters 220, 221, 222 and 228 were snoffling for acorns in the trees opposite.

Older cows 35, 72 and 940 plus youngsters 219, 226 and 230 plus yearling 245 were all grazing in the area around ///pure.calculate.behalf at 10:05.  The others were spread out in a large circle around this area in dense thicket surrounded by thick mud and other swampy ground making it challenging to get to them.  They were also in groups of one or two.  Cows 21, 213, 217, 238, 241, 242, 244, 247 and 257 were all found grazing or eating leaves at some point over the next ninety minutes within this area.

Despite an extensive search of the rest of the site, I couldn't find cows 20, 30, 33 or 235 today.

All the cows that were seen were good.

Saturday 17th September - 23 seen

Older cow 21, youngsters 217 and 230 plus yearling 242 were found in the trees beside the gate to Camp 45 at 09:50 this morning.  Yearlings 238, 241, 244, 247, 248 and 257 were all grazing in the area around ///irrigate.impose.craters a short while later.  The four wandered along and joined them.  Shortly before 10:20, I heard some bellowing coming from the direction of Camp 45, so walked along and found youngsters 219 and 221 at ///consoles.plump.rapid.  They too wandered along and joined the others, who continued to graze in the warm sunshine.

Older cows 33, 72 and 940 plus youngsters 213, 222 and 226 plus yearling 245 were found in the area around ///flattery.shuttled.traders at 11:30.  Older cows 20 and 30 plus youngster 235 were lying down relaxing and chewing their cud.  Cow 35 turned up about twenty minutes later, having climbed up the hill.

Despite an exhaustive search of the site, I wasn't able to find youngsters 220 and 228 today.  I circled back around the first group as I was leaving, and they hadn't joined them.

All the cows that were seen were good today.
