Sunday 13 July 2025 All Seven Ponies/Cattle Seen, (09.00 - 09.45). All Well

The ponies were seen first in E9 at 09.00, west of the tarmac access road from the cattle grid to the ammo dump. Polly and the darker pony were in the trees within about 15 yards of each other. They were both happy to receive neck scratches/strokes.

The other lighter-coloured pony was in the open meadow about 75 yards further west. She was not interested in any attention from me. She either turned her head or walked away, if I approached.

All three were avidly grazing and appeared content and well.

I found all four cattle at 09.30 laying down in thick "rhodi" bush cover in H3, very close to the main E-W track and the northern perimeter fence. It was difficult for me to manouver in there and I did not want to trip and disturb them, so I just took a photo of each and left them. They also appeared content and well.
