Mon 3 Mar 25 (16.00 - 17.15) Found all Four Cattle in F6. Only Found 3 Maybe 4 in G3

I came across the four cattle at the same time as I saw one of the H&IWWT Rangers - Dave. It was the first time that we had met and we had a short conversation as the cattle grazed contentedly about us in F6, near to the ammo dump.

I had already had a tour on my bike of the meadow, without finding the ponies. I checked to the West again to no avail and then left the area to ride the perimeter tracks. As I headed east on the northern perimeter track I spotted the pony with the white left rear white sock & hoof grazing near the fence just out of some thick gorse. As I was taking photos of this pony, I heard something move within the gorse & thought I may have caught a quick glimpse of another pony. I was unable to photograph or verify this "sighting". After a few minutes, a second pony, (branded "NS") appeared and then another, (no major distinguishing marks - to my untrained eye).
