Reds versus blues
Apparently these sheep have been scanned to see if they are pregnant and are marked with a different colour, indicating which will give birth at different times. The farmer can then bring in the appropriate coloured sheep to the safety of the barns and keep a close eye on them.

Thanks Phil. It was sat on a post for a while I got some shots, then I moved a little closer and it flew off and landed on the sheep... just had to get one of that as I’ve never seen it before!Got to be a winner from me for the cheeky Magpie shot

It looks like it's making itself very comfy. I should imagine it is a lot warmer there than a post

You'll have to pay us a visit guys.
The sheep in the field behind us regularly have Magpies land on them.
The birds pick off insects and other bits and even hop onto the sheep's head.
It's only when their beaks get a bit close to the eye, that a flick of the sheep's ears tells them to fly off.
I've got a few photos but the IQ is awful, so I won't show them on here.

A few sheep shots from the last three weeks rambles around the Lancashire countryside.

I made a deal with myself to not take any photos of sheep as I have been taking too many recently... needless to say the deal was well and truly broken!

That fourth shot (of the Hardwick sheep) is absolutely outstanding Chris.
I nearly bought a Hardwick knitted pullover years ago when we were in the Lake District -
until I realised how itchy it would be on my sensitive skin.

I’ve one question on the jumper, how did the Herdwick hold the needles to do the knitting?

Excellent point Chris.
I'm glad it's not just me that notices grammar 'bloopers'.
