I quickly found the ponies in D9 all together in the clearing, just to the west of where the silver birch were recently cleared and burnt. They all appeared well.
I then went to search for the cattle. The Grazing Map showed them in E8, just to east of the tarmac Ammo Dump access road.
However, actually getting to see the was not so simple and they were in a large patch of high gorse gradually moving north, but remaining in the gorse. I found a hole on the gorse and managed to get in there, where I was rewarded by sighting three of them including the one with the GPS collar and #276. I could not find or hear the other one, so I changed tactics I retiring to the road and called them with various sounds. I was eventually rewarded with the three coming out as far as the tree corridor, where I managed to photo #276 & his ear tag and the three together. I then went back into the gorse and listened, (while "the seen 3" were still outside. I the heard noises further to the south and the managed to catch a sight, but not photo, (too thick gorse) of the forth member of the herd. All four cattle appeared to be well and contently grazing.

Thank you for your dedication in finding all of them!
