Just like last Monday, the planned post (yes, it's hard to believe that I actually plan the posts!) has been put on hold, to make way for donkeys and lambs ........ and some birds. I was standing at the bedroom window this morning, drying my hair (we have a deep windowsill which has a mirror on it), when some long tailed tits swooped into the garden and settled on the fat ball feeder. The hair was abandoned and I rushed through to the lounge to grab the camera
after lunch I went for a walk to see if there were any more lambbs. I braved the muddy path along to the field gate, only to find that the ewes were still waiting
so I walked on round to the other field
hooray for the big lens!!!
while I was taking the photos, this goose (or is it a gander?) kept honking at me, obviously annoyed that I was looking at her/his flock!
on the way up the hill, the donkeys had been in the far paddock, but when I came back down, they were in the field beside the road
the ponies were obviously annoyed that the donkeys were getting all the attention, and lined up to have their photo taken
these ewes probably have about six weeks to go, before their lambs arrive
a few more sheep to finish - or a few sheep bottoms! As I was about to turn out on to the road from the drive this morning, several sheep walked past. Just when I thought that I would have to get out the car and round them up, our neighbour BillytheFarmer appeared behind them on his quad bike. By the time I got the camera out of my handbag, all I got was a view of their rear ends as they turned into the stable yard, on their way to the field behind
