Such busy people at Natural England and DEFRA that they don't come round and get to see the spiffing work done on the land by their farm schemes. Cattle are part of the deal on Blacka and cattle are such good eaters and tramplers of everything - and that other stuff that comes out the other end - that's the real William Gordon, that is.
Just to let you know what grand work is being done here and just in case you were wondering if we get value for money for our taxes going into these things. Here is a picture of a part of Cowsick taken just a year ago on 6th July 2010 when no cows were 'managing' the land. The flower is Bog Asphodel.
And here is a picture of the same spot this year after a short spell of cattle grazing.
Of course the numbers of cattle will have to be increased: they've failed to finish the job off properly.
