It interests me that the lambs aren't very good at finding their mothers. Often they run across the field and try several ewes before they find 'Mum'. For their part the mothers aren't particularly helpful either however they sniff the lambs and if it isn't theirs it gets a gentle head butt to send it in the direction of someone else. We've been watching the lambs race about. Now the older ones seem to enjoy being together and race about like mad things. I've felt sorry for them in the recent terrible weather as it seems a harsh introduction to field life.
