Tuesday 16th July

Overcast and muggy day on the Hill, but still loads of Ringlets, Meadow Browns and Marbled Whites flitting around. The ponies were at the top of the site, getting stuck in amongst the long grass with Doune practicing the old adage of 'grass is always greener' by nibbling at the grasses in the neighbouring field. They were loving eating all the purple flowers from the top of the thistles. Must be extra tasty? They all looked in great condition, but checked Flam's eye and it's still a little gunky (but no obvious signs of discharge) and the eye itself is slightly red towards the inside. That might be due to us poking it though. Left them to it and had a lovely stroll back down to the main gate.
