And it's time for another action sequence!  :)  Yesterday morning, first light, Brown Ewe -- who once upon a time (three weeks ago) I picked to go first (ha ha ha ha ha) -- with a string of mucus hanging out of her...  So half hourly checks until 8am when I finally saw this -- so I stood and watched and photographed and murmured words of encouragement...

C'mon Brown Ewe -- you can do this -- one more big push....

And then she stood up and out it slithered!

And before the lamb was even fully on the ground, she was already turning around to commence the licking!  :)  Yum, yum, freshly hatched lamb goo...  :)

Anyhow, I went in to have my breakfast and give her half an hour -- and came back to twins!

Here they are, up and dry and drinking...

And here's today's close up after tagging -- one is a girl and one (was) a boy...

These are Curly's from Tuesday -- both boys -- I seem to have a lot of boys this year for some reason...

AND, reward for those of you who have carried on reading thus far...  :)

Up until now, the lambing has been following a very strange pattern:  

Shy Ewe lambed on Tuesday 15/4 followed by Black Ewe two days later.
Greedy lambed on Tuesday 22/4 followed by Dolly one day later.
Curly lambed on Tuesday 29/4 followed by Brown Ewe two days later.

So after Brown Ewe lambed, with four left to go, you can see why I was thinking it was going to be another two weeks before they all went...  :)  But thankfully I was wrong and Shy Lamb had her first lamb unassisted this afternoon!  Will tell you its sex tomorrow but isn't it a lovely little thing?!  And she did it all by herself!  Well done Shy Lamb!

In other news, we had some lovely weather on Wednesday and I managed to find time for a swim (#21 of the year)...

11 lambs born, 3 ewes left to lamb...
