Monday 23rd December

 All 49 sheep came for sheep nuts and looked healthy (no limping spotted).

Sheep nuts are about 3/4 full and water troughs are full.

Initially one WFW was in the Eastern Compartment on top of the hill. By talking to it I got it to come down the hill and to me and follow me through the kissing gate. 

The other 48 sheep were either on the lower part of the downs or in the bushes within about 400m of the water.

No dog walkers seen in the central compartment.

All gates were secure, I think the WFW is getting through the SE gate there is a lot of wool on the gate and nearby and sheep droppings and hoof marks also both sides of the gate.
