All over Yorkshire and indeed the north of England, the fields have lots of sheep waiting and quite a few lambs are here already. I pass the field shown in the photograph above quite often and I look to see if there are any lambs, none yet.
The photo above shows a lamb at Home Farm - Temple Newsam estate, Leeds. This little lamb is a Kerry Hill a breed of domestic sheep here in the UK, I think around 2 weeks old. The Kerry Hill is I think a most attractive sheep, the breed has very distinctive facial colouring. The Kerry Hill was taken off the The Rare Breeds Survival Trust watchlist in 2006, so I think numbers have increased.
On any day there are lots of small children brought by there mums (mostly) visiting Home Farm - Temple Newsam estate, Leeds a place where they can get up close and personal with lambs, piglets, ducks and some very cute rabbits not far from Leeds city centre.
