Monday 29th July

 I think I found 48 sheep (the Shetlands kept moving so I had 3 recounts) under the beech trees at the top western corner of the compartment, they probably had the coolest location with shade and a breeze.

All looked healthy and none of those moving around were limping (quite a few were just sitting).

There was fox scat near the fence just downhill from where the sheep were so it is probably worth double checking it isn't digging a hole under the fence (in case it becomes big enough for  the sheep to get out), when checking the sheep.

There is plenty of food and both water troughs were full,  but, I couldn't get the water to flow (by depressing the float) on the old trough and the new trough I couldn't get into th mechanism to check.

No dog walkers seen (I did meet Tom and Emily in the Eastern Compartment at the end).
