This jobs full of surprises! While routinely going through and checking some of our Soay sheep we discovered that some where in lamb. When we bought them back in December I asked if they had been near a ram and was assured that they hadn't........someone has obviously been sneaking around after lights out!

Normally these type of sheep are not lambed until they are fully grown at 2 years old, these are only 1 year old and quite small and so they have been moved to some better pasture where I can keep a closer eye on them.

and into their new home where they are closely inspected by the Shetland ewes already in residence!
