6am this morning, first check in my dressing gown with my waterproofs over that (because of course it's raining!) and I see Greedy with a head out.  I give her half an hour or so while I make myself some coffee and then I go check her again -- nothing happening.  I've no idea how long she's been at it before I got up, so I decide to go in for a look and just as well I did...

No feet forward, so I'm feeling around trying to find a foot -- and what I found was the twin's head and then she was trying to push them both out at the same time.  Tried to push a head back but she wasn't having that, so managed to get one leg of the twin and pulled that one out first, and then I was able to pull the first one.  

Both lambs (and Greedy) up on their feet now and doing well.  Think this must be a rite of passage -- pulling lambs in my dressing gown!  :)

The sheep in the field next door (not mine) were totally being nosy about what Greedy was up to!

3 down, 7 more to go.  Still no sight of any of my purebred Shetland lambs though!

In other news, we went for a walk the other day -- here's Danny gazing out into the abyss...

And some gulls thinking that this might be a nice spot to raise some chicks...

Speaking of laying eggs, we've been having duck eggs most days now since the first one -- but only one egg a day -- until this morning when Danny spotted this "fart egg" (normal duck egg for scale).  So perhaps we will be getting more duck eggs now!

Here's a close up of Black Ewe's twins from last week -- they are not looking their brightest because they have just had their balls banded...  :)

Spotted while feeding the other night (not mine) so that was another task getting somebody else's sheep back where it belonged before it tried to climb into my field!  :)

The strawberries in the poly-tunnel are flowering -- fingers crossed for a bumper strawberry crop this year!

And I'll leave you with this dramatic sunset from the other night -- #nofilter #islandlife
