1st September

A warm but damp/wet morning around 8.30. The cattle were sheltering under the willow tree near the gate so we could see all 7. The white one stood guard eyeing us carefully.

They all look healthy and move easily.All 7 were clean, and their eyes seem fine viewing them with binoculars. They stayed closely together.

The white one stayed still watching us as long as we stayed by the gate, but moved slowly away when I took a couple of slow steps towards her.

The bucket of food near the gate looked untouched.

I checked the pump. The basin was full of water (rain?) but operating the lever seems to have no effect.
