The two in Ashley Meadows were at the south west corner quietly eating. Both clean and well with only a few flies on them. Pump.and fence both working well.
Heavy dew on the grass. I got quite wet from the knees down.
For the western Fen, I put on my overtrousers. In the Fen, the cattle were not visible from the gate but once by the pasture pump we saw one standing over to the west. Walked over: it was alone there. Found another one alone behind the north end of the bramble bank. Then found the third one at the south end of the bramble bank. All quietly eating, clean and untroubled by flies.
Elizabeth checked the pump which works ok. Standing on the platform gives a useful higher view of the fen.
I needed the overtrousers. They were running with dew from the thighs down by the time I got back to the gate.
