I used to love getting up through the night to check the sheep, when we had Jacobs which were hopeless. Beautiful starry crisp nights, with not a sound to be heard or a light to see round about. I used to get up every two hours, then Mr F would take over first thing.
Now we have Hebs, I check them last thing before bed, then Mr F does the mornings, and usually he catches the newborns. I stopped checking them idividually in the night because it would disturb and unsettle them, I would just go out and watch from a distance. The lovely dark nights are no longer as just about everyone seems to have security lights on all night, lighting up the sky with light pollution
This year we're not lambing at all because of the uncertainties during the pandemic and I miss my nightly prowls
Good Luck everyone who has further lambs to arrive, and enjoy Easter
