Blimey, that's been some catch-up this morning.
Er, I have a sheep confession to make, I have temporarily mislaid Nibbles, Loppy and 406. I put the whole flock back out on the hill a week ago, which is several thousand acres of common grazings, and they usually settle down in the second valley away from the village gate. Went up yesterday with some hard feed because we've had a couple of days of nasty weather, headed towards the valley calling 'Come on, ladies' and sure enough, as soon as I was in earshot, I started getting answering 'BAAAAAAAAA's and they came galloping over. Except it was only April and the other 2-year-olds, Nibbles, Loppy and 406 weren't with them and I couldn't find them anywhere.
I'm not too worried, they do like to keep themselves to themselves. I'm going to check the clearance village today, which is another valley over again, as there's better grass around it and no one else has got their sheep out at the moment so the sheep normally hefted there won't be pushing them off it. If they're not there, they might have gone down to the other side of the main road, which was their preferred spot in the spring until the sheep that are normally there got put out after lambing. If I still can't find them after that I'll see if I can borrow my friend's drone and have a scan over a wider area!
