Swaledales sunning themselves.

The main excitement activity of the day was a trip to the tip recycling centre.  This was late afternoon and the route takes us along a tiny back road.  On the way there I spotted these "Swaadles" in one of the fields.  Having disposed of the rubbish there was a convenient place to pull in just opposite the field gate.

The sun very obligingly appeared from behind the black clouds giving a nice golden light to the scenes.  We weren't close enough to be certain but I am fairly sure going by the horns on them they are Tups (sorry Rams I do keep going back to my linguistic roots).  The farmer must have a good sized flock as every single animal in the field had a good set of horns.  At a rough estimate he must have in the region of 1200 ewes if these are Tups.
