Tuesday 18th November - Staff Check

All 40 sheep present and correct.

19 Shetlands down towards the corral and trough
17 WFW and 1 Shetland inside woodland close to the Hampshire gate between Central and Western
3 WFW at the top of the woodland, close to Plum Pudding.

Trough full but a bit icy today - keep an eye in case temperatures drop as it might need breaking apart.

Also 5 yellowhammers, 6 siskins, 2 bullfinch and some redwings. Keep an eye in the winter food mix in the arable field adjacent to the corral, as the chaffinchs and bullfinch were dipping in to feed on the seed heads!
