Monday 9th staff check

Nut bucket filled up and I managed a count if 61. 3 straggling white-faced woodlands decided to join after a while. I just kept calling 'c'mon'! Lots after I dished out the nuts and they eventually plodding across the Downs. 
Hopefully as forge levels go down they might be a bit more enthusiastic so we get better counts!
There's also one brown Shetland that was adament on following me and my bucket to the top of the hill. Let me introduce you to Gerry, an 8 year old Shetland who is very friendly and you will probably meet Ollie too who has a similar personality!

Woodland entrance gate post has broken, I'll try replace this but might have to wait till the springtime as it is not a priority or causing any h&s issues
