A moorland ewe just growing her coat back, by the looks of her she is a last years lamb. She is grazing between the flowering Heather and sedge grasses which grow all over the moor top. We stopped and took in the wonderful heather honey perfume drifting in the wind this afternoon, it was still cloudy and quite cool at 17c but at least it wasn’t raining.

Hello! This is an interesting sheep with her soft coat, spotted les and horns. The heather sets her off nicely.

A lovely shot, with several moorland features - the heather, sedge, a vew into a green valley, and of course the moorland sheep - fav!

All being well, our Moorsbus trip this weekend will be to see the heather. Weather forecast looks quite reasonable, with sunny intervals, so hopefully lots of photos!
