Tales of the #Wiltipoll arrival - the long version.

After the lambs had been left alone with the #MudBrothers for awhile, I decided to check how things were going.

I carried a patio chair with me (for comfort & support of my knees & back) & as I got to the gate leading out back the #alpacas met me.

I brushed past them - they’d been eating lucerne - & tried to spot the lambs. (I’ve been told by my better half that they are still classed as lambs for another 6 months.)

No sign.

I moved further into the paddock & spotted them eating near our trees.

The second I moved, the #MudBrothers abandoned the lucerne & moved to follow me, staying behind, but very close.

My brave alpacas were scared of the lambs! LOL!

I moved my chair closer for a decent photo & the boys shadowed me.

Sitting down the lambs caught sight of me & moved to approach me - the alpacas moved away & hid behind some thistles.

The #MudBrothers stayed there the entire time I was watching the lambs eat before eventually laying down by one of the trees.

I had my photos to #toot, so I picked up my chair & headed back to the house.

The alpacas abandoned their lamb watching thistle position & went back to eating lucerne by the gate.

I did manage to get the back of my neck badly sunburnt, I’ll wear my digger hat next time instead of a cap.

Yours, @John
