This is Pearl. Little Dodd was knocking off his bottle today, and she decided to check whether he was getting something she wasn't.
She showed no interest in the smell of Wonderlamb, but spent several minutes staring intently at me.
Pearl is one year old. She could have had her first lambs this year, but Hebridean sheep are late maturing and long-lived, so we haven't hurried her. Pearl was a particularly beautiful and characterful lamb, and as you can see, she is a rather gorgeous sheep.
Like Little Dodd (she is his auntie) she is a climber, happy scrambling on rock, or neatly placing her front feet to scale the pig netting so she can reach to eat new hawthorn growth on the other side, while standing in a strangely upright position. For a sheep.
