Wednesday 2nd October

All 49 sheep accounted for. I managed to find "limpy" (i think he's putting on a show just for me) still limping and when the hoof is lifted and stationary there are flies buzzing around the hoof. Could that indicate an infection? Sorry he was too wary and I could get close enough to check the number. 

All water troughs full. Nuts have been topped up, now half full. 

All Gates and fencing fine, the vehicle gate by number 4 is now tied and propped closed. 

I saw one dog walkers and 2 German Shepherd dogs (no leads) they were too far away for me to ask to put them on the lead and thankfully in the woodlands not the sheep paddock.
