When I arrived this evening the sheep were all on the big field and they were racing around having little stampedes which Elisa seems to initiate. It's quite frightening when they all rush over the pile of rocks. It seems like they are having fun, and there is no reason why they would be stressed. It has been raining today, possibly a storm, in fact there must've been a strong wind as I found the big inner tube that used to be on the beach right up against the sheep fence near the gate: it had blown across the whole field!
After their stampedes they were jostling each other, head butting and jumping on each other. We didn't have any of these displays of hierarchy last year but this lot are definitely more spirited (at last they are when it cools down in the evening). They are really putting on weight now and they all have lovely thick, shaggy wool.
