Monday 9th December

 Found 48 sheep (14 WFW and 34 Shetlands) all of which came to me for food.

Unable to find 1 Shetland, but since it was a WFW that got into the Eastern Compartment it is safe to say the escaped sheep is back now.

Water troughs are fine, food practically empty now.

Fences :-

- there is a small tree down on the fence near the SE gate with no latch, id be surprised if the WFW got over it but there are sheep droppings in Eastern Compartment near it. (Photo WhatsApped to Bea as unable to download from phone).

- there is also a branch against the fence on the Western fence but this looks like it has been there a long time. Any other branches on fences I removed.

Dog walkers only seen outside the compartment none in it (they were all relatively thin).
