Beautiful warm, sunny afternoon and the House Martins gave a wonderful aerial display over the clump of silver birches and beyond. Yesterday we were told of an escapee in the Eastern compartment. We went to gather it up and found the gate padlocked so could not drive it through. The trough is full in that compartment, we could find no obvious place where the Shetland sheep got through. All other sheep came to call and there seemed to be 59. The two limpers were not putting any weight on their poorly hooves when standing- one a left front and the other a right front - both Shetlands. Is it worth giving me the padlock combination as we could have done something to help? Pippa & Tim
