Autumn colours bathed in golden sunshine. Completely peaceful except for twittering birds & the gentle tearing of grass by the sheep. Approached through gate 14 (not 4 as previously believed- oh the benefit of daylight!). Found all 32 sheep contentedly grazing by gate 8. Trough almost full. Left through gate 15 before ascending the steep climb. Approached a professional dog walker at the bottom of the Down who agreed the sheep signs were clear & who therefore avoided the “open area”.
The purpose of this blog is: For lookers to post a record of their livestock checks. To act as a formal record of livestock wellbeing and welfare checks. For lookers to access up-to-date information on livestock and site status, and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
