That's a crystal clear image. I'd say no bother spotting one lambing from that camera.

Easier when there is only a few of them in the pen. Nice to check them when I'm at work or on the phone when I'm out. Also it pans around which is handy.

The size might be too big? Can you see the attach button below the reply box? Sometimes it disappears for no reason!

Lovely ewes and lambs. Love the daffodils, very spring like.

Stumbled on this thread by accident and spent today looking through it.
Very nice.

Grew up beside a sheep farmer and miss seeing them about, real hard work goes into rearing them.

Some photos of local sheep

Friend just messaged me a sheep and her lamb running about her street this morning - they don't know the farmer but the guards are going down I think for a wild sheep chase.

Couldn't help myself reading that bit in a Ross O'Carroll-Kelly accent. Someone should report the "mum" to the focking Gords

Green farmer

The sun is a welcome sight today.
