All 61 sheep there and looking healthy (I got 62 on my first count but I think one moved).
Plenty of sheep nuts in the container (hint: I always put the sheep nuts in the margarine container and shake that to make a noise to attract the sheep - it seems to work).
Water trough - ball cock is working (if I depress it there is quite a strong flow of water),
but the trough is very full so it may be a while before it works on its own.
I saw the tree down on the fence on the top eastern side of the compartment (see photos below),
on the upper side it is well blocked with branches (top picture)
on the lower side there is a slight gap (and the barbed wire is pushed down) but I'm not sure its big enough for a sheep (bottom picture).
There were sheep droppings/tracks in the area so the sheep must go there although I haven't seen them there.
I think it's worth keeping an eye on (NB. Its easier to approach it from the Broughton side as the slope is pretty step on the Winterslow side)
