I passed the field where these lambs were sitting and thought the lambs were dead but when I got out of my car with my camera, the mother decided to show that she did care about them and started ljcking them and they started to move so I felt relieved. With all the diseased lambs being born around the country (we haven't had any cases in Bedfordshire), I was relieved that they were OK. The wind was blowing so hard, I found it difficult keeping my camera steady - hence the reason for cutting off the top of her back
@judithg Yes it must be terrible for them - I'm just pleased it doesn't seem to have affected the lambs round our way because they look so sweet and I couldn't imagine what it must be like to see deformed or dead lambs. It must be heartbreaking
Oh, how sweet! They're so white and pure when they're babies. I love how the mama is looking right at the camera, as if to say, "You can take a photo, but stay away from my pretty babies."
@tesssa There is a terrible disease that causes some lambs to be born dead or with terrible deformities. It has a long name which I couldn't possible write to pronounce but it must be devastating for the ewes but also for the farmers
Mind, that wind was mighty cold. At least the lambs have some sunshine to warm their backs.
