The weather is getting better!

We have had plenty of sun this week but always with a biting, northerly or easterly wind.  The boys haylage supplies have usually finished by this time of year but as a treat during this coldish weather, they have had more haylage.  Fergus enjoys it!

Fyta is also partial to several mouthfuls of haylage, and, like Fergus likes to lie down when he is eating it.

From midweek onwards we have enjoyed excellent sunshine which the boys love.  Faro (left) and Fyta here.

When he is in the mood, Fergus can be a big petted lump!  I'm taking the opportunity to tell him that he's  a very good boy!

I can't resist this photo with the look of contentment on Fergus's face.  We find lately however that he is definitely slowing down and whilst Faro and Fyta are often still running around the paddocks, Fergus often often just lies down and chews the cud.

Here's the cheeky Fyta who loves to be hand fed. He never refuses food and will clean up the other boys' bowls if they let him!

Lambing has been in full swing for the neighbouring crofter and yesterday he let some of the lambs and mothers out of the sheds and into the sunshine.  There were lambs looking for mums and mums looking for their lambs - what a noise they all made until they found each other!  The commotion was watched carefully by the alpacas!

And finally..............the strong sunshine brought out lots of Peacock butterflies this week as well as plenty of bees, which is great.  Hope you are all well, wherever you are reading this blog.
