Counting sheep

Counting sheep
Sleepy sheep dozing beside the lazy River Exe at Bridgetown, Dulverton, Somerset.
I don't know if the warmth of the Summer sun was enough to make them take a nap, or if they needed to count sheep like the rest of us!

I have added 'Up a Lazy River' sung here by Dean Martin and the Mills Brothers

La siesta la propiciaría el calor después del atracón de forraje que tienen cantidad para ellas.
Dean Martín siempre me pareció un tipo muy simpático y hacía buena pareja cantando con Frank Sinatra, en mi opinión.

Thank you very much Jose. It looks like they have been doing more sleeping than eating by the length of the grass!

José Manuel Polo club has replied to Ecobird club
Tienes razón; la hierba está alta... pero en lo que se ve. Quizá han rumiado en otra zona y luego se han venido a dormir a la sombra que junto al agua se está más fresco. Lo dice quien tiene experiencia en sestear en choperas con el arrullo del tintineo de las hojas de los chopos mecidas por la brisa que nunca falta en las choperas con río. HFF Carol.

That sounds just perfect to me Jose. Just to breathe in the clean fresh air in a quiet place in the countryside, with the heat of the sun tempered by the shade of the trees and the sound of a stream close by is a joy to me. Simple pleasures that mean a lot.

HFF and have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you very much Karl. Yes it is a bit overgrown but probably helps to keep the sheep in off the road - not that they have any inclination to leave the comfort of the long grass!!

Ecobird club has replied to Xata club
Thank you very much Isabel. It is probably a result of all the rain we have!! I have noticed though that since the pandemic very little seems to be cut back and hedgerows and fields are wild and the grass lush.

Three lovely images of the dozing herd, Carol! I suppose if I had to walk around with a woollen coat in the summer, I'd be taking it easy in the shade every chance I got too :))

HFF!

Ecobird club has replied to Annalia S.
Thank you very much Annalia. Back to needing those coats this week, - it is colder and very wet. They are probably glad of the trees for shelter from the rain but I imagine the wet grass tickles their tummies and makes their wool wet!

Belated HFF Carol. I love looking at pictures of sheep in UK, up to their knees or shoulders in lush green grass. Here they are often strung out across sparse yellow stubble on red soil on endless plains. If there is a tree or two, there may be 100 sheep huddled in its shade! I do love these! Happy Sunday.
2 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Diana Australis club
Thank you very much Diana. I am pleased you liked seeing our pampered sheep! They are making the most of the long grass, both to make a soft bed and also to eat if they want. Since the pandemic grass and hedgerows seem to be left untouched in the countryside. If the sheep are supposed to be keeping it cropped here they don't appear to be up to the job!!

Have a lovely week
