We're poor little lambs who have lost our way, Baa Baa Baaaaa

Along one of our country roads near here last week, we saw these two little lambs, who had escaped from a field.

I don’t know how they got out, but they were on the road, and their mother was in the field calling for them.

As I drove nearer to them, they got frightened and ran further along the road …
and they kept on going further all the time :o(

They were bleating pitifully for their mother, and I realised the car must have been frightening for them

So I pulled in where there was a wide bit in the road, and there we waited to see what they would do …

Once I’d switched the engine off, they came running back …

They were wary of the car at first …

… but then ran past, and kept on going until they were out of sight.

We waited a few minutes and then drove back along the road,
but we could not see the lambs, so I presume they had found their way back into the field where their mother was :o)

It's that Bo-Peep again, not keeping a weather eye on her sheep! Glad that all ended well, Hywel. Great photos too.

Amazing how they knew the sound of their mother's
call and found the hole in the hedge.

It's a good job it was someone kind like you or who knows where they would have ended up. Lovely pics and a happy ending:-)

They were lucky. Sheep can be so simple minded when
they escape onto the road and even if you know where they should be its hard to get them to go back there. I hope the farmer finds the gap in the hedge where they got out.
