Ashley Meadows -  Fence and pump working. The two cattle visible from the gate. They were by the west fence chewing the cud. Both looked clean and well. They seemed not too bothered by flies on their faces.

Later saw, and heard, one having a long drink from the pump.

Western Fen- Pump works ok. Cattle, once found, seem ok.

The Cattle were not visible from.gate. Walked along eastern fence and finally saw one walk through the edge of the tall reeds halfway down the field but it soon disappeared. Followed vague tracks westward and southwards and luckily saw one standing. Walked to it and found the other two lying beside it. They seemed ok from.what I could see of them. One was eating while sitting down.  

Soon all three were sitting down. I steppec  back a couple of paces and they were invisible.

Phoned Elizabeth who was at the gate to say I had found them. She later told me it took me a 1/4 hour to walk back.
