All 30x accounted for. 2x sheep of concern, which I called in to Rachel. Both sheep are lively, grazing and keeping in with the flock.
#21 (possibly #22) is agitating around a greasy patch in the centre of its back, where flies are clustering. This is a sign of probable fly strike.
The limper was plain to spot today and there are flies clustering around the top of its lame leg (front left). Rachel advises this could be because it has foot rot and the odour transfers to the top of its leg when it folds its leg under it when resting and this transferred odour is what attracts the flies.
I couldn't get close to read the ear tag of the limper, but it's easy to spot and is pictured below.
