If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure: Call the office on 01489 774400. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly. NOTES: Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call. If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed. Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact. Thank you!

Monday 19th August

 All 50 sheep found, 34 in usual beech wood and 16 in the undergrowth not far from the water troughs and food. All looked healthy, I couldn't spot the limper (WWF) but a number of these were quite far into the undergrowth and I couldn't see their lower legs.

Water troughs and food all good.

No problems with fences or gates.

No dogs or walkers seen on reserve.


Note: In the undergrowth not far west of where the water troughs are I did see an upturned tree with burnt roots, these burn marks looked recent. Luckily the fire seems to have been  minor and not spread.
