Wednesday 22nd January

All 20 Shetland sheep accountable. No limping witness. All in good shape. 17 found out the lowlands, 3 up on the slope - they eventually came over.

All Gates and fencing good. 

All 5 x troughs full & 1/2 tub of nuts. The nuts tub was a little difficult to access being in between the two fences. The flock cottoned on and I had 3 heads trying to force their way through the fence. I found throwing a few nuts over my shoulder distracted them for a bit. 

No dogs or walkers seen on site. 

I couldn't locate the mineral lick, but i need to adjust my route a little so next time.
