Our Neighbours

We have sheep that wander all around the garden and occasionally through it - now is our favourite time as the lambs are here - some even have special coats for our Irish weather !



Number 27 lamb is only a day old and follows mum around like a shadow.




Keeps them warm and dry and just drops off as they grow...







                               
Running, Jumping. Skipping and Butting Heads is how they pass the time




along with eating and sleeping of course.




The mums always keep a beady eye on us humans as we are not to be trusted




A black and white bundle of loveliness.

On the Beach


Now we have the chickens settled and a little more work completed on the house I have had time to spend outside getting to know the garden and it inhabitants a little better
This is the view from our little piece of the shoreline that came with the house - very lucky us !!
The mists and cloud continuously change and no two minutes are the same.


This little guy is a Turnstone and they do exactly what it says in the name.....but you would be amazed at the size of some of the boulders they can turn over to look for bugs underneath.





Every bay along our coast has its resident pair of Mute Swans and this is our female



this little Green Crab ( I think as I am just learning the types of creatures we find here ) I rescued from a lobster pot washed up along the shore he and two others were OK but unfortunately another was dead.
I love the way its eyes come out on stalks so it can have a good look around.

A Big Day Out

Big day today in the life of Pebble and Dash, they had their first foray into the great wide world ( our mountain garden ) and loved every minute of it.....

they found new wonderful and tasty treats like grubs, worms, centipedes and lots of other creepy crawlies.....YUMMY 








































Pebble as always was worried about her barnet as she just could not do a thing with it in this wind.





Dash is just the oposite, could not give a fig what he or she looks like but just wanted more food.......
