Saving private Blackface

May 12, 2008

Today we went up the road to test the equipment in our holiday cottage. While going up there we saw a tiny, tiny black faced lamb lying in the ditch next to the access road. It got stuck into some old fencing materials, weed and twigs and it was screaming like there was no tomorrow. It’s mum was standing next to it but other than bleating back a bit, she did not do too much…

I decided to jump in the ditch and free the little screamer. It felt very fragile and I could feel its little heart pounding away as I untangled it from its uncomfortable position. When it was free it walked about for a bit and stared at me with a fuzzy look. Then it ran off to its mum with weird, funny jumps…

Later that day we saw it basking in the evening sun, looking quite content.
