Can anybody tell me what breed these two are (I know I've asked before). The horned sheep showed some strange, to me, actions. When I stood at the gate to the field it came up and stood up against the top bar and then started pawing the bottom bar. I've stopped there before and it has never has it done that. Was it hungry? And another less bold

Hebridean Perhaps.
 
Hebridean Perhaps.
Thanks Beth for your reply. I Googled "Hebridean" and, to me, the horns look different to "my" local animal. I keep going back to look at Welsh Black Mountain Sheep. The white one looks very much like an image on their web page. There's never anybody around when I stop there.

I'll keep looking.

What I will say about this shot is that maybe you should have moved a few steps to the left and got the gull right in the middle of the arch. Other opinions are available. :D
That's an interesting observation Nev, I also took several other angles and distances and that was my favourite. I also like this one with the full arch reflection.

Went out looking for hares boxing for the third weekend in a row. Still no joy! Saw quite a few red kites, some deer and a few solitary hares.

Sadly, the deer were all sat down. I've never seen that before!

Hi, bricklayers at work. In the 1960s, there were not many cranes at sites for building houses, but many unskilled helpers carrying materials on their shoulders or using wheelbarrows.

Today, cranes are used, and one could ask oneself where unskilled migrants could work ... --- :

I checked at 4.00 p.m. It was not their fault. They worked on a sewage pipe :

Hi, on our dog-walk we met a poodle mix (the brown one) ... :
It looks like it has a fair bit of Schnauzer in it too.
I love the great Dane, all feet and ears at that age :)

I've a poodle - a large one. He has been to France where he is a Caniche Royale, and to the Netherlands, where he is a Koningspoedel. He has never been to Germany, so I've no idea what he is there, but I like both these names better than our Standard Poodle. We also have a poodle mix. A small cockapoo, which belonged to my mother-in-law and when she couldn't look after her we got her.

Hi, in Germany standard size poodles are called Pudel, small ones Zwerg-Pudel and the big ones Königs-Pudel.

I must ask the lady with the poodle mix shown above, what breed her dog really is.

They look like Welsh Mountain sheep to me. But I'm not an expert on Welsh sheep.:)
