One trouble with sheep is that they can't be ignored. They don't ever seem to 'fit' into the place they inhabit yet their presence somehow controls it. Hence the sense of this part of Blacka as a place in its own right is always qualified by the sheep that are nearly always here. As it happens they have all been taken off now because of lambing. The result is a quite different atmosphere. Even the thorn trees are the better for it.
All sheep have been removed except these two who were left behind and are now on the main part of the moor enjoying its wildness. Actually I was sure there were two, but studying the photo I seem to see three. Puzzling! Another question: assuming these sheep are due to lamb, are they just left to their own devices?

Is it possible that there is a shadow across the one sheep making it appear the there are three?
I think you may be right. I certainly only saw two before processing the picture. Funny things sheep!
