More cuteness

I thought I would show you some more cuteness. Otherwise known as baby animals. These were a type of sheep that I had never seen before. They had twisting horns and long wool (the lambs had curls) and you could see them start already on the lambs' heads as well. But those sheep were very very skittish. Definitely not people sheep.

The next photo was taken on the same day. I had my big lens on, but still couldn't really get close enough for a really great shot. But you know what these are: goslings and a lot of them. There were actually two families there: one with five and the other with about 12/13 goslings. When they heard me walking past (never mind the cars and bikes), they moved away, even though I was still quite far away.

Another day and more aaah moments to be had. This was a coot family and where the geese are both responsible for their offspring, coots not so much (like ducks). I did spot the mother feeding one of the three cooties, but of course failed to get photographic evidence of it. What I did like though, was the fact that the white part in the adult coot, is actually red in the baby coot.  

I think however my favourite aaah moment came from a bit earlier that day. As I was walking through a park in town, there was a small fenced in clearing with grazing animals. Some sheep, but mainly goats. And apart from adult goats there were plenty of kids as well. This one was the smallest and very much intent on grazing, barely looking up from the grass. 

I hope you enjoyed the cuteness...
