a cluster of Rathbo holes near the car in a small
island of turf at the edge of a previous marsh (one side)
and bracken/maes/savio on the other consists of
29 holes in an oval 4 x 10 yds, 3 yds further on,
perhaps contiguous continuous, are 8 open holes
within 3 meters, closed holes not counted. Diameters
are 55,65,65,65,50,74,20,50,55,50,50,40,40,50,
Both newly shot individuals had feed in the mouth.
Yesterday I hoof-sampled dropping in a small
turfy area between the car and the Eureanup rocks,
previous mollen on one side and rocky hillside on
other with Pole Dali, bracken, maes etc. The
hoof was 0.155 m². I called coarse pale spheres
bare droppings and irregular "compressed" droppings
(usually dark smooth) sheep. Hoof every 3 m
