The third group of 16 were close to the northern fence line in the long grass . All animals grazing fine. No one limping . Five roe deer seen

 All 30 accounted for on a beautiful warm day, they were situated right at the northernmost point of the field. I couldn't see any limpers, they look to be in very good condition.

Sun 16 Oct

It was a very still, calm day so it was easy to get their attention by calling and they all came over to say hello, which is nice and makes checking them easier.

All 30x accounted for no significant limping seen. #21 is possibly a bit greasy and with some straggly fleece in the centre of its back, but no flies were seen and the sheep wasn't agitating the spot.

No concerns.

Tuesday October 11th

 Lovely day again ! Sheep all in the long grass area to the north . In two loose groups around the narrow cut track . Most of them lying down initially and looking very comfortable in the afternoon sunshine . I got them all to their feet  but no one limping . Otherwise no issues . Two roe deer out in the middle of the short grass area also enjoying the sun

 All 30 were up and about at lunchtime,  mid-point of the field, happily grazing. Did not see any limpers or any eating on their knees.
