Whilst looking for the ponies bumped into a friendly gentleman who had been watching the birds in our expanding lake and who is a regular visitor. We had a good chat about birds and other critters before my search continued. In the end they were in the old common place up by the top gate. They weren't being very lively, but Doune was looking after them all. Looks like Hoopy is settling in, now has burdock in her hair and mud on her backside and flanks. On the whole they all looked okay and well apart from the lethargy. Kat's autumn/winter coat is looking really dark and luxuriant.
EDIT: IMPORTANT - spotted Hoopy had a weepy and closed left eye, that was also a little red. The Grazing Team have had a look, and it looks like it's hopefully just a poke from a branch (no scratches on the eye). So advice from the Grazing Team is to keep a close eye (no pun intended) on it and monitor and update as necessary.
