Wednesday 3rd Jan

All 61 sheep accounted for and in good health. 40 came for food, 21 stayed around the Plum Pudding. 
No issues with any of the gates, besides what's previously been mentioned. Water trough was full when I arrived and there are plenty of nuts (although one of the gits stuck his nose in the tin!)
Found three full water bottles under a tree near the Plum Pudding. Didn't look like litter, are they there for a reason?

Also, on the path back to Buckholt Rd I noticed a tree at risk of falling. It's maybe a foot in diameter and is being held up by another tree, so I don't think it's a massive hazard, but I also don't know if it's part of the nature reserve anyway. It was just outside the 'Welcome' sign with the large broken gate.
Lastly, here's the aforementioned nut thief:

    Thanks Dan! I'll let the landowners know about the tree and get this sorted thanks for letting me know
