I'm a couple of fields away from home, at the next farm, an easy walk to get to where I'm repairing a wall.

For about a week now, a flock of starling several hundred strong has been feeding on the soft wet soil. They're constantly on the move, covering two or three miles up and down the dale each day. They've just spotted me so they're off again.

There's also good numbers of Lapwing and Curlew on the wing and calling.

There are rough grazing fields going down to a road then up again. The grass is grazed short and dull green in the end of winter colours. Just lifted off the ground is a large flock of starling.
I walked home for lunch and was thoroughly checked out for treats on the way back through the field.

This spottie might have been a pet lamb as it demanded head scritchies, (happy to oblige) sniffed every pocket and tasted my work trousers.

A Dutch Spotted ewe has its nose right up to me, sniffing my coat pockets. It's a brown and white sheep with a spotty look to it's fleece.
