Don’t come any closer!

There were a lot of sheep up on the South Downs. This mum and her twins wandered over to the gate and were having a good scratch so I stalked them to try and get a good shot.

Mum suddenly realised I was there and turned to stare. She was really warning me off so I quickly took this shot and scuttled away before she tried to do me any harm …. ( not sure that she would but I wasn’t taking any chances.

Animals can be very protective of their babies!!

They are giving you a very sheepish look. FAV

Sheep, like other animals, can become a bit agressive if they feel their young are threatened. This is a lovely shot, works well in black and white.
