New beginnings [Contest Finalists November 2009]
Uploaded: November 14, 2009 00:01:45
Taken with Canon EF24-105IS USM lens.
Following on from last night's image these two sheep have just given birth. As I said last night I found it fascinating that all the sheep helped out during and after the births with each others babies, licking them and keeping an eye on the new borns, even if it wasn't their own baby. They displayed tenderness and empathy towards each other and their new borns.
