First arrivals for the season

The first born little pair of ewe lambs arrived on saturday afternoon to a blind ewe. This Whiteface Dartmoor ewe had been rolling in the grass to itch her back and could not get onto her feet again. Birds (properly crows) had noticed her helpless in the field and pecked at her eyes, had she not been found by Mathew the birds would have continued until she died.
Now she is a very proud mum and the lambs will quickly learn to quide her around the farm fields
