Unlike most lambs, which are inclined to be a bit skittish and wary of strangers, these two, alone in a small paddock, weren't at all fazed by my presence and I soon had them eating grass out of my hand while they affectionately nuzzled my wrist. When I cycled off they trotted after me for the length of their enclosure and looked quite sad at our parting.
