Wednesday 27th December

38 sheep came when called, 23 WFW stayed put in the wooded area near the Plum Pudding. One Shetland was all on its own near gate 7 but joined the others when called, albeit in no hurry. Didn't notice any health issues. 

Gate 7 seemed reluctant to close. The wire's gone slack again. It will close but the strong wind can hold it open. Gate 1's lock doesn't work properly. The bolt can quite easily slide past it. The wire should keep it closed but again, a strong gust of wind might open it. 

Water trough was full due to the rain. There are plenty of nuts in the tin.
