Wooly Munchers

Sheep are back in the usual field munching away.
There are two different types.
The whiteish ones, which I think may be Cheviot, were laid back and just watched us:

The black ones, which look to me to be Hebridean, tended to remain hidden and retreated rapidly when we got too close to the fence for their liking:

Of course my identification could well be faulty as there are several white sheep which look very similar to me.

  1. I love Hebrideans John - they always seem to me to be the nearest thing we have to wild sheep.

    1. Weaver: I agree with you. Animals with horns seem to look more primitive.

  2. Such a great subject to capture photos of, John.

    1. Shirley: At least they stand still for some of the time and the gentler Sunlight this time of year helps with less contrast in the photos.

Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
