Monday 16th December

 Initially 1 WFW (Yellow tag 120) was about 200m into Eastern Compartment (just South, up the slope) of the central bushes/trees.  By talking to it and standing still when I got to within about 15m it came up to me (so I could read its tag) and then followed me down to the (new) NE kissing gate where I let it back into the Central Compartment.

So all 49 sheep now in the central compartment and all came to me when I called, they had been either on the slopes or near the water. I didn't spot the lame one but that's probably as there were so many close together.

Sheep Nuts have now run out by water troughs are full.

No dogs or walkers seen on Nature reserve.

It isn't clear how the WFW is getting into the Eastern Compartment, the SE gate now has a strong spring so it seems unlikely it would be here. There is still the small tree down on the fence just south of the SE gate but that only affects the top piece of barbed wire. And it would seem unlikely at the NE kissing gate as I had to hold the gate open to let the WFW back.
