Flock returned to central comp, Hampshire gate closed

A damp day with some chalkhill blues bravely bouncing through the precipitation. 

The sheep were in the western compartment woods, not far from the Hampshire gate.

With the lure of the sheep nuts they followed me into the central compartment. After taking them a good way along the path I nipped back to close the gate. When I returned to the flock they had melted off into the scrub so I didn't manage an accurate headcount but it was close to 60.

Fenceline intact between central and western compartments. One strainer rotten and leaning, just downhill of the beechwood treeline.

No sheep spotted as I zigzagged my way out via the western compartment. A full headcount would confirm they are all together.
