All 59 together, one with a limp, back left leg but seemed well. 

Trough was full but pushing down the ball stop no water ran, so please check this when doing checks, the neighbour has moved his sheep off so may have turned mains off.

Thanks,

Bea

 Hi All,

A nice clear and brisk morning on the Down today. Counted 60 sheep a few times but recounted and got 59 eventually. One of the sheep is limping slightly. Will try and add a video to this if I can. Otherwise all the rest look well and happy.

Wednesday 25 November

 All fine on the Down this morning.  59 sheep happily grazing on the middle slopes.  One’s fleece seems to be shedding rather dramatically. Should this be happening as Winter approaches? 

Trough full and clear of leaves.  Plenty of nuts left in the tub.

Fri 6th Nov

Sam reported all 59 sheep counted and no issues seen. Central trough full.

Wednesday 4 November - NUT BUCKET NOW MOVED

All 59 sheep well spaced out across the slopes in the central enclosure this morning, looking content and well. 

Central, mains-fed trough full.   Retrieved the plentiful tub of pellets from the west enclosure and hung it on a tree a few yards to the right of the central trough. See centre of photo below.

The two spare water containers remain in the west enclosure by the manually-filled trough.

Monday 2nd Nov SHEEP MOVE

The 59 sheep are now all in the central compartment and the mains water is on for this trough so please ensure this continues to work when checking the site. I forgot to bring the nut supply bucket into this compartment so it is still near the carrell. Please let us know if it gets moved, there are branches of scrub near the central trough where it can hang (there are strainer posts on the floor of the area)

Sheep all look well, one has got thorny stem on its coat I did not get close to try to remove but it is not affecting it's self.

Thanks,

Bea

Sunday 1st November

 59 sheep altogether on the lower slopes, a number have picked up brambles on their woolly coats, managed to free one of them. Water in trough topped up by all the rain we have had.  Tim & Pippa
