Around 10:30 I spotted cattle in Western Fen from the gate, but approach closer than 100yds and they move on further into the undergrowth. Eventually managed to count to 7, the large cream one seems to be the boss! Disturbed what was probably a female Pheasant in the fen which flew off erratically. The fen is very wet especially in the centre where the cows generally are, some places nearly defeating my wellies.
The pasture pump couldn't really be described as working properly, it took 15 or 20 pumps to get any water at all, and then it was very muddy. But there is plenty of standing water in the fen!
