Monday 14th October

41 Sheep (14, WFW and 27 Shetlands) found in the locations below, all looked healthy :-

- 1 WFW in the Beech Wood near Plum Pudding (I could hear other sheep nearby but it was too steep for me to be able to find them, these must be some/all the unaccounted for Shetlands).

- 27 (25 Shetlands, 2 WFW) either on the ridge in Toms photo or the North facing slope nearby, all 25 Shetlands came for food, the 2 WFW just watched.

- 13 (11 WFW, 2 Shetlands) in the Bowl in the centre

Note : I found a safe way into/down to the Bowl by following a wideish sheep trail (about halfway down the Northern slope).

Lots of food and water trough full.

No walkers or dogs seen but I did see a large hare (female ?) in the Beech Woodland near Plum Pudding.

I wanted to photograph her but she went into the undergrowth, I could see her but the photo would have been poor. First hare I have seen on the actual nature reserve.
