This morning it was feeding on Long Holme Drove - the extension of Fen End Road as you drive out of Over - beyond Sophie's Pool and before you get to the main quarry entrance. ca. TL386730. Long Holme Drove is a public right of way, but obviously keep out of the way of any farm or quarry vehicles and on no account leave the public rights of way and go onto private farmland or into the working quarry area (Richard Thomas).
