Tue 31 aug
All 60 sheep accounted for. Trough fine, food rather low. Most sheep were gathered in the copse near the bucket, but half a dozen at the top of the hill, making me climb up to get them. A group at the bottom of the hill couldn't be bothered with breakfast, and wondered off to the western slope to feed. Perhaps they are fussy about the flavour! One black face (see photo) is hobbling (front left leg appears painful when weight bearing, so possibly a joint rather than foot problem? I couldn't see anything untoward on the leg or foot), I saw no other lameness
