You can see where our wind has been coming from today:
In other words, straight from the arctic bringing… chill:
Recently the skies have held more than the usual quota of Buzzards, Kites:
and Ravens
All keeping a close eye on the ground below
criss-crossing the fields
passing on the news
Because it is lambing time
They are mainly looking for nutrition-rich after-birth, which they won’t find in the field next to us as it is designated as the nursery for some of the weaker, indoor born lambs
They are brought in by taxi
and then have to sort themselves out
Ewes closely inspecting the numbers
until they know they have their right lambs
Our small contribution is to provide the water supply
through the fence
and into the trough
From where it is magically turned into milk
A happy scene
(Before the arctic blast)
