Not my usual day, but I popped out during a break in the rain. All 53x counted - they were in two groups of 31 and 22. One lamb with a very messy back end, but was looking lively and no flies. Couldn't get close to read the ear tag. Rang Ellie.

53 sheep on Barton Meadows
49 lambs and 4 sheep on Barton Meadows. Hopefully the friendly sheep will calm the nerves of the lambs.
The have been sprayed for flies so hopefully they wont settle on the messy back ends. Please keep an eye on them as they hhave recently been weaned.
Thanks

Thursday 27th August
It's been a while since visiting the site, footpaths clear and survived the recent strong winds.
A small amount of litter by the big hotel
The new no cycle signs are still up so hopefully working.
Some juvenile slow worms under the mats, loads of house Martin's and a couple of jays in the trees roadside.
Thanks,
Bea

Quick walk around, even in the drizzle the purple knapweed throughout the site could still be seen. Few walkers and runners out. No litter.
