A mild Autumn so far.

As mentioned in last week's blog, the boys were ready for a bit of fresh grass so we let them into an adjoining paddock on Monday.  The first couple of days on new grass usually means that they are not too bothered about eating their daily supplement but here they are making an effort to clean out their bowls!  Faro is standing in front of the gate and he in particular is difficult to convince about eating his supplement for a couple of days after a change of grass.  

Nothing quite like polishing up the teeth after a meal is there?  "Hey Fergus, stop chewing the strainer!"

"Who - me, boss?"

Fyta (left) and Fidget enjoying their hay. Fidget in particular likes to knock over the hay bucket then sit in front of it picking out individual pieces of hay to chew.  It's a hard life!

The PRV (Poop Recovery Vehicle) has arrived and the boys gather around in awe at the Grumpy Gardener's skill at keeping their paddocks clean - but think that he should get a life and a new hobby!

The barking of a neighbour's dogs gets the full attention of the herd.  Fyta is in front, then Fergus, Faro and Rufus at the gate.

And finally................there is still a little bit of colour in the garden, some of it coming from this Clematis Tangutika.  When the yellow flowers are gone they are replaced by the lovely feathery heads. The weather remains mild here and the leaves are now all changing colour.
