    Thanks madvix, it was!  Not the right time of day to see the cows being milked, but sheep are fine!

    I thought Pheasants bred in Spring (March to June). Perhaps last year's male-pheasants are still in with their sisters and mums?

    The 2021 lambs have certainly had to be separated here (someone evidently said they wanted sweetbreads as they've all been left with their bits intact) I know their humans find it difficult when they go to the abattoir, and flock is the ideal size for them here so 7 of the girls may be sold as a starter flock - so maybe one or two of the boys might be sold as breeding stock too

    It’s shooting season, so pheasants are being released from rearing pens all over the place and being pests. They’ll only get up to fly if forced.
