All sheep counted and all look fine. They're very friendly and run over to the fence when they see me with my son on my shoulders. They weren't spooked when dogs came past either. #72 still has a messy back end, but no concerns.

I observed the sheep for 10 mins through binoculars from the house today (sorry). I counted all 41x and they were flocking normally and moving freely. No concerns.

All 41 sheep looking well. Bird activity is on the up- the skylarks have arrived! Hopefully they're looking for somewhere to nest. Also saw a yellowhammer and a pair of stonechat on the overhead lines- fingers crossed they're here to stay!
