sorry, ladies, we've no sheep-nuts !

Finally, we have the first few of our "local" lambs in the nearby fields. That is a pair of fraternal twins soaking up the sunshine. Just as I clicked the shutter "mom" told them it was lunchtime, so they both trotted over for some "milk on tap" ... very cute !

Spotted just off the A689 [Alston to Brampton] on our way to Hickins' for some food. The fence is also providing somewhere to hang the hay ! The hay patch on the ground has two sets of lambs and one ewe, the other mum is the one much closer to the camera. First lambs I've seen in 2024.

This black sheep has the Zwartbles points {white blaze to the face, white hocks and tip of the tail, although the socks are rather short}

Mobile Petting service brought some sheep, this black one [probably a Zwartbles or Blawen ?], a couple of lambs and a ewe.

posted to SC178 - Nursery Rhyme. Baa, Baa Black Sheep applies - the younger ones are very black, but go a bit grey with age. Small flock of Soay ewes, no lambs this year [2023], despite their being - officially - a rare breed. They responded to a "come and get it" call, but were disappointed we didn't have any sheep nuts ! [including the white one, she was sired by a local non-soay tup, hence her horns & fleece colour].

This pair were less than a day old when I saw them, later they were frolicking about including climbing on mum. Located high up above Llanfairfechan

Driving along the line of our local Roman road, spotted this ewe and her two, very new, lambs. She was licking the lambs clean, the yellow colour shows just how newly born they are. It wasn't long before the elder one was suckling.

This lamb was born maybe two or three or four hours ago, and is still a little unsteady. (Not helped by lying in a shaded puddle by the gate post). It staggered over to the ewe and then had a suckle. It was much better by the early afternoon.

The first of the field born lambs in our local area. Many farmers around here who are aiming for the early lamb market use sheds for lambing.

It took me several attempts to catch this image of one lamb standing on the ewe's back. Previous attempts had been beaten by the speed with which they moved to come closer - as I assume they associated a car stopping with the delivery of food. The gap in the top coping on the wall was repaired, with extra and replacement stones a few weeks later.

One small black Herdwick lamb running to keep up with mum ! It was difficult to capture this shot....

Lamb that has found somewhere warm and dry for a snooze. (not quite in focus, but taken from an odd perch)
