    Scottish Blackface

    Scottish Blackface sheep are the prolific species of sheep on Dartmoor. Owing to their heavy fleece they are able to withstand harsh environments
    These two kept me company yesterday on Dartmoor as I sat for five hours in my quest to get some decent shots of Ring Ousel's, that never transpired although I saw several they never came close enough.

            Thanks everyone. I'm a great believer in doing some observation and field craft, however on this occasion it did not pay off. To add insult to injury, I told a friend about the location, he went down the following day, took his wife. They were sitting in the car having a picnic lunch before he went up into the Boulder Field where the Ousel's were, a juvenile landed on a rock 15 feet from the car and the parent birds fed it for the next ten minutes. He got some fantastic shots without getting out of the car.
