NH6454 : Feeding our Soay sheep

taken 9 years ago, near to Munlochy, Highland, Scotland

Feeding our Soay sheep
Feeding our Soay sheep
Luke and Leia (Soay twins) receive supplemental feeding now the snow has arrived. The two Soay lambs were rejected by their mother soon after birth and were reared at an organic farm before arriving with us as both "lawnmowers" and suppliers of Soay fleece for my wife to use in spinning (and ultimately to make me a new natural wool sweater). Named after the twins Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker from Star Wars.
