@helenclayton Lambs are always appreciated! ❤️
@helenclayton
Sadly, won’t be around very long 🥺
@helenclayton this year's? Earliest I've seen if so
@capnthommo I assume so, some further up the field were quite tiny. I saw some the other week but they were behind a thick hedge. They were also quite tiny. My neighbours’ sheep will be lambing in about 4 weeks.
@helenclayton seen none outdoors around here. Any idea what breed they are?
@capnthommo not a clue I’m afraid. I’ve seen them in Devon around this time of year previously. Must be the milder climes of the west coast!
@capnthommo I only had my phone camera so distant photo of ewes further up the slope are blurry, but if you zoom in you might be able to detect some distinguishing features!
@helenclayton I couldn't really see either. But they don't look like the hardier hill breeds to me.
@helenclayton LAAAAAAMBS! They’re quite early?
@thebaywindowgirl I just checked my photos and saw my first lambs in Devon last year on 5th Feb! I guess it’s the mild climes of west Wales and the southwest.
@helenclayton No lambies here for a while yet 😢
@thebaywindowgirl our neighbours’ sheep will be lambing in 4 weeks or so apparently!
@helenclayton Early April seems to be the first photos I have from the past couple of years.
@thebaywindowgirl Dartmoor was always later for me, March.
@helenclayton Aren't they a bit early?
@BackFromTheDud that’s what everyone says but I saw them with my own eyes!
