Monday 1st January

Found all 61 sheep, 60 looked healthy (the majority of the WFW were sitting so I couldn't see the limper) and the other looks healthy but has some hawthorn stuck around its next which looks uncomfortable (see below) :-

The water trough was full but the sheep nuts are now running low. I did find the margarine tub on the ground near the water container and not in the red tin.

All fences looked fine and I spotted one young woman with a dog on a lead in the south western area.

There were quite a few walkers with dogs on the Clarendon way on my way back but not on the nature reserve.

I did spot 4 deer in the central compartment (I think 3 females and 1 male as 1 had a lovely set of antlers) but I'm not sure of the species.
