Flying Sheep

[DP the Snapper]

Yesterday’s walk on Brown Clee Hill in Shropshire revealed some deep snowdrifts and a flying sheep. The first sheep tripped on the fence and ended up head first in the drift and the second one ……!

Re: Flying Sheep

I've heard of flying pigs but never sheep.

Nicely captured.

The drifts were at least three feet deep but quite solid and she scrambled out ....... I am sure I could hear the others chuckling to themselves

Thanks Dave I am keeping a look out for the pigs

Thanks for the update Dave. I was in Wales at the weekend with friends who had recently stayed with a family that had lost 200 lambs in the snow. I'm visiting the West Country this weekend, and expect the farmers in the family to update me on the Dartmoor losses. I think that on Dartmoor it has been as bad, if not worse than 1963 and probably is the difference between financial survival and disaster in 2013.
