More signs of spring

Another welcome sign of spring - the first lambs born to our local and now rather small flocklet of Jacobs sheep (just four ewes and the ram instead of the 20 or so put there some years). The brown ewe looks very large and we're betting that her offspring will be there on our next walk.



These first twin lambs - a boy and a girl - have very similar markings.



They seem so very tiny that they must only have been born in the last day or two.



This morning's other enjoyable sighting was a treecreeper - quite easy to spot due to his rapid movement up the truck but much harder to get a decent picture of. This was the best we managed - but at least it's good enough to confirm what it was!



Time to go and plant some chili seeds now while the weather's still good .... the first spring gardening task.
