Ewes and lambs near Parcneuadd

These sheep graze sloping pastures near Parcneuadd. Like most mammals, ewes are very protective of their young; on this occasion the entire flock turned out to confront what they perceived as a threat, bleating loudly and making pursuit in hopes of intimidating the intruder. This photographer wasn't so easily fooled: any that got too close were easily shooed off and in any case I suspect that their 'baa' was worse than their bite.
