Head and shoulders above the rest

On nettle patrol today ahead of the boundary walk tomorrow. A slight route change avoids the forest of nettles we had to battle through last year - a few by the path in places but it should be possible to complete the walk unstung this year.

Encountered these curious chaps - brave they were on the other side of the gate. This one head and shoulders above the rest.

Extra - advancing.

Also herded out of a field by a flock of sheep and older lambs - Either chasing me out or more likely they thought I was going to feed them.
