Found 50 sheep down in the gypsy swing dell and on the slopes near by. Trough full. I'm surprised the level of nuts has gone right down as I ask the W/E wardens to use about 8 small handfuls - sorry about that.

Only counted 49 initially. Eventually the last one appeared walking slowly and looking thinner than the rest. No obvious problem with it. Trough OK Tim & Pippa Evans

49 sheep enjoying the sun & grazing on slopes beside the "gypsy swing dell". Went to look for the 50th and heard it calling from a distance. It seemed to be a bit out of sorts, on the small side but walking OK. Trough full of rain water! Pippa Evans

Weekend volunteer could not find the sheep - they were probably all sheltering somewhere from the wind & rain. Pippa Evans
