Rehanging the fell gate after gathering. "Why do you take it off it's hinges?" "We used to just leave it open, but some walkers closed it last time - so, when the sheep came down, they couldn't get into the field. Took us another hour to get them back..." #SheepOfTheDay

Checking for hoggs hiding in the bracken #SheepOfTheDay

Gathering in Eskdale, Nikki and Len ("He's a good field dog but he's not much help up here!") chasing the last Herdwicks off the crag #SheepOfTheDay

Out before the sun this morning, to gather the fell before the heat arrives. White Herdwick faces & legs help us to spot them in the half light #SheepOfTheDay
