 The water trough is full. The sheep were in the woods so a bit tricky to count but got near to 60 each time. Pippa Evans

Friday 28th August wasp nest

Checking on sheep today, me and the sheep, not sure who, disturbed a ground wasp nest. This was in thebwestern compartments on the main slope facing the plantation. 

We hope to get signs out there but please take care f in the area. 

I have informed the grazing team that the wasps did get into the coats of the sheep.

Before the mayhem I managed a count of 57. I left a yellow bucket near the scene 

Thanks,

My count got me to 60 and they are all looking well.

The trough is full to the top and there are still two full water containers to top up later on in the week if needed.

A railing on the kissing gate by the western caralle has come loose which needs fixing, two screws have snapped off and this railing is holding up the livestock netting.

Thanks,

 The volunteers counted to 59 seven times and so were a bit worried what might have happened to the missing one. All others looking good & trough full.    Pippa Evans

 53 sheep found others rather elusive not surprising due to such hot weather. Pippa Evans

Friday 7th August

Couldn't get an accurate count today sheep were scattered shading from the heat. There were ten in the western compartment and only managed to get six back into central. The other four were very content and even skipped a bit as they followed me - after I tried to get them back in the other compartment!

Both troughs are fine.

Sorry this is late the volunteers forgot to report! 54 sheep found in the central compartment in the wood below Plum Pudding. 2 others were the other side of the fence in the Western compartment. The others rather elusive. All looked well and troughs OK.   Pippa Evans
