Counted 43 WFW, 27 being around the biggest yew, 15 shaded by another nearby yew which has the surrounding fencing flattened on one side. Didn't wish to distress them further in the heat so backed off when they started descending to join the other shorn woolies. Strode around the usual shady spots but scrub too dense & prickly. Definitely harder when they're all the same variety. Plenty of butterflies & bees. Gates, troughs all fine. No one else crazy enough to be out on the crispy downs except my teenagers & they were under duress!
The purpose of this blog is: For lookers to post a record of their livestock checks. To act as a formal record of livestock wellbeing and welfare checks. For lookers to access up-to-date information on livestock and site status, and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
If you need to report an emergency to us such as injured or escaped livestock or damaged infrastructure please follow this procedure: Call the office on 01489 774400. If no one answers, wait for the answering message which will detail the name and mobile number of the member of staff who is currently on call. Phone the on-call member of staff who will then respond accordingly. NOTES: Please do not phone a member of staff directly unless you know they are on-call. If you are unsure if a particular situation qualifies as an emergency then please phone the on-call member of staff anyway so that they can make the decision on how to proceed. Most importantly of all – please do not report injuries or sick animals via the blog alone – always call the emergency on-call contact. Thank you!
