The sheep were in a loose group at the top of the south facing cut grass slope . 27 of the 30 were grazing happily with the remaining three further off lying down . These latter came across to join the main group when I showed up. All looking fine and no one limping .their trough is ok and the water supply functioning properly .

Spent 20 minutes checking all 30 sheep close up as it's mild and there are a lot of flies around, couldn't see any issues at all.
