We only found 38 - two missing Shetlands.
We met the Monday looker by chance (who was counting butterflies) and he said he had just seen fresh sheep droppings in the western compartment. We also saw them (just the other side of the lower gate) but no sheep. So 2 Shetlands missing from the count. It was very hot so they also may have been keeping cool in the deep cover.
Coughing sheep: one WFW had quite a persistent dry cough. I have attached photos but couldn’t quite get a clear shot of her number tag.
Gates: The catch on gate 6 is loose allowing the gate to actually be pushed open. The upper screw on gate 7 is loose - just needs tightening I think.
Trough was fine
