They are just off to the right, probably get on here tomorrow! They rudely turned their backs on me which a lot of birds and animals seem to do when they see my camera.

Nice shot. I took one of these earlier in the year in slightly worse condition http://365project.org/malc/365/2013-02-04" . We love the roses at Mottisfont. Jules' mum works there as a NT Volunteer.

I like the country side - it is inviting and beckons the viewer to come walk among the trees.

I think these huts used to be mobile24/7 use in lambing season. No sign of any facilities!

The site wouldn't let me follow your link. I got a shot of a de-luxe shepherd's hut last year at Kingston Lacy. We are only 12 miles from Mottisfont & visit a lot. Our visit yesterday was photographically v profitable!

How interesting. Is it simply a shelter from the weather?

@cmt2812

Yes and mobile to be near the sheep at lambing time - I think the shepherd's lived in them then!
