    Tuesday 30th sept all 12 found looking fine

     Found the cows as saw one from a path as we walked down. I think i have a delay with the tracker as it said the were the other side of the gravel track 

    All found in L3/M3 11.20 looking fine. Jura said hello the others were busy grazing.

    There was evidence of the ponies recently having been in the area..after a very interesting walk through the gorse we left that bit. Ziggy picked up a scent and he found them all in J6/J7 at 11.45. The old girl was out in the open and had a stroke. We found all the others in the dense bushes. A couple said hello but some we could not get too. Very busy eating and looking fine.

    Lots of gorse busting to find cows and ponies today. They all looked fine

    Monday 29th the cows were all over the place. No ponies found

     The tracker had the cows spread out. We found J’Adore in K3 and there was another one deep in the bushes but we could only hear him.

    Then saw Jet walking across H4 and another one was visible further over. Then found J’Adore and 282 in G3. . They seemed to be moving around a lot. Could not confirm we saw 283 but he could have been one of the ones i did not get close enough to see!

    Could not find the ponies but was with a friend so could not go over past the ammo dump. Will be back tomorrow

    Sunday 28 Sept 25, (11.00 - 11.30). All Eight Ponies Seen in F5 and All Four Cattle Seen in H7. All Well.

     Five of the ponies were in the sandy/grassy compound, (defined with the sandy banks on three and a half sides) in F5.  They were happily grazing, with only Polly and the elder pony wanting/tolerating any stokes.  I fact, when I was stroking the elder pony, it was Polly who chased her away and not for strokes from me either!

    After a short while I climbed the eastern bank and was able to see the other three ponies just a few feet away.  As I left the compound, one of the three "outside" ponies had climbed our the bank and was now inside the compound.













       I found the cattle, (using the "no fence" app) just to the N of the pine trees in H7.  They were all well, but seemed more interested in heading E, rather than having and attention from me.  Although Jeans, was happy to pose for a couple of comedy photos in the drizzel. 







    It appears that I forgot to photograph Jet.  Apologies.  I can confirm though that I definitely saw all four of the guys.

    Saturday 27th September - All 12 seen

    At 15:30 this afternoon, the ponies were grazing contentedly in the pasture near ///bead.widget.yacht, northeast of the water trough. They were very friendly, each taking turns to come over to say hello and enjoy some strokes before returning to graze. As they gradually moved in the direction of the ammo compound, they regularly came back for more attention. The girls thoroughly enjoyed long grooming sessions—having their backs and sides brushed and the gorse and burrs removed from their manes and forelocks. They relaxed completely, rewarding me with plenty of cuddles, nuzzles, and even a few licks.

    Around 16:45, the older pony wandered back to the far corner for a drink from the trough. I followed, and we shared a peaceful fifteen minutes together while she stood quietly, enjoying the fuss. Once we were done, we walked back to rejoin the others grazing near ///vitals.grief.ghosts. The trough was full and only needed a light clean. I said my goodbyes around 17:10, leaving them all grazing happily. All eight ponies were relaxed, healthy, and in excellent condition.

    At 17:15, yearlings 276 and 282 were grazing in the thicket near ///otters.wager.storage, southeast of the ammo compound. Both were very friendly, coming straight over to greet me. Yearling 282 especially enjoyed a long neck and chin scratch, while yearling 276 leaned in for a back rub. About ten minutes later, yearlings 278 and 283 arrived from the north, mooing as they approached. They, too, were affectionate, happily accepting strokes and rubs. After a while, the four moved onto the track to the west, where they rested, chewed their cud, and enjoyed more attention. By 17:45, the boys had wandered off to the southwest to graze, though yearling 282 lingered for another neck rub, thanking me with the sweetest head rubs. All four were happy, relaxed, and looking well.

    By 17:55, the ponies had started to graze east along the track to the south of the ammo compound. They all came over once more for strokes before I said my final goodbyes at 18:15.

    The cows and the ponies were all good today.
















    Saturday 15th August - All 4 seen

    Shortly before 15:00 this afternoon, the cattle were gathered around the water trough, having recently wandered down from the duck pond. As ...
