Around 10:30 all 7 cattle eating in the centre of the Western Fen, in plenty of standing water. I tried the trick with a few handfuls of cow nuts in the bright flexy tub. Got within 50m and raised and shook the bucket. The cream one knew what it was, but was a bit reticent to approach. But she did in the end. I put the tub on the ground and she tucked in about 2m from me, but none of the others crowded around got a look in! And all this before I received the email from Chris. All still very nervous. But on my way there my welly got stuck in some mud and I fell. Good crop of stinky mud all over me! And plenty of horse flies to bite me.
Pasture pump not working. Last year at Fishlake we had a second pasture pump in Ashley Meadow and that one worked well.
