  took a saunter over to clarendon field expecting to see the konik ponies/horses.
  
  plenty of evidence that they were close but they were not visible.
  
  instead i was surprised to come across this show off doing a high wire act.
  
  

  

  
  
  

  

  
  
  it must have followed me as i took this one about half an hour later.

  indeed it is the miniature version, so small because there is not much food up there.

  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  I was thinking more along the lines of the black cattle in the top pictures: maybe one of those was mistaken for a black panther?

  We cudda flagged that shot up as a Black Panther Howard..we would have brought the tourists in from all corners !!lol especially the third one down. Nothing like a good hoax to get the excitement going. Bit like the Loch Ness monster phenomenon..although we all know that guy is real! Dont we??
  
  Lovely picture at the top of the page of a soft morning.
  The buffalo-like cattle are shy.

  Another potentially fantastic tourist attraction that is left to the cows and cats! If only there was some vision.......

  We are trying as hard as we can, but it is hampered by the people on the opposite hill.....
  
  For the moment we'll have to see what the Farthingloe development offers in the way of funds to do something with the Heights
  Been nice knowing you :)

  I presume that's the same people who are closing the castle on the opposite hill?
