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!

Monday 21st September

 Found all 44 sheep at the bottom of the hill towards the North fence. 

Most were in the open but 5 were deep in the bushes and 1 was hidden behind the West water trough.

Unfortunately the Sheep with the blue mark must have been deep in the bushes as none of the 39 I could easily see had a blue mark. These 39 all looked healthy with no limpers.

Water troughs were full and gates and fences were fine.

Quite a few dog walkers today on the Clarendon Way/outside the Nature reserve but none in the Eastern Compartment.
