The volunteer got as far as 53 but felt the others were lurking in the undergrowth. Water trough fine. The gates on the lower path of the compartment have no signs saying "dogs on lead sheep grazing".   Pippa Evans

Call out: Saturday 27th June

Had a call from a dog Walker about 2 sheep in a compartment by themselves, possibly the two that couldn't be found yesterday? 

After a search in the rain I found 1 sheep by itself in the western compartment which was put back into the central compartment. A definite final count of 60 in the central compartment. No sign of where it got out.
