Alpacas in Staffordshire
Image: © John Winder Taken: 18 May 2014
A small flock (herd? pack? don't know what the collective noun is for them) of alpacas at Far Brook Farm in the Peak District. It's quite common to find these South American relatives of the llama being farmed in the UK for their wool, which is very fine and a superb insulator. I got this information from a sign at the farm, whose owners are obviously alpaca enthusiasts.
