We moved the fence posts to extend the grazing area under the birch trees. Elisa twigged on straight away and was the first to push her way through into the long grass. The others were slow to follow but eventually they were all in there. We put some wooden steps on the inside of the enclosure (so I can jump in and out) which they contemplated for quite a while We half expected to see them climb over, Sean- the-Sheep style. They had become very noisy over the last few days but as soon as they moved into the new area they were very quiet again, too busy eating. And they are doing a great job removing all the lower branches from the birch trees. With the bright sunshine their wool has changed colour quite dramatically. The two brown sheep are now almost blond and we can see that not all the black sheep are really black. Some of them are really dark brown.
