Sat 28 and Sun 29 Dec

All 41x counted and look fine. Messy back ends no worse and no more of them.

Some more encroachment from the same neighbours on Colley Close. Will email separately...

41 fine. Couple of mucky backsides

All 41 grazing beside the fence on the north east edge.

All looking well. Two of the lambs had backsides muckier than the others.

There was some head butting  and side charging going in between two of the lambs.

They sauntered off towards the valley.

Plenty of grazing for them!

Birds are really starting to sing out. Blue tits, great tits and a dunnock staking out their territories.

Tue 24 Dec

I bumped into Sam this morning as I checked on the sheep. All look well, all 41x counted.

Today, in the first example I've seen of this, a border terrier was yapping at the sheep through the fence wire. Sam was very polite and the owners put their dog on its lead. All well, otherwise.

Sat 21 and Sun 22 Dec

All sheep look well and all 41x counted. They're actively finding and chewing plastic waste - I found and removed the remains of a tennis ball today. No concerns. The young rams are getting frisky...

Tuesday 17th December

All sheep OK today. They're definitely coping with this weather better than I am!
