It certainly feels like spring is on its way here. We have skylarks hovering over the hill and playing in the tufty grass, we saw local lambs at the weekend and I have spotted why Prince Charming was about last week.....
Frog spawn!
On the alpaca front some of the girls are starting to look pregnant and some of the younger girls looking for boys, it's too early for mating yet girls you've got a while to wait yet!I am trying to work out one of our young girls, Freyja (Oonagh's second daughter), sired by Gianmarco's Masterpiece is far from the brightest alpaca we have, but she is a sweet girl who is still rather immature for her age (18 months).
She has a fascination with Geena which is so funny to watch, I used to think that it was because Geena still had her cria at foot and that she was attracted to the baby but since weaning Brinley nothing has changed. Freyja is rather obsessed much to Geena's annoyance.
The photo quality isn't great but I took these on my phone tonight when the light was going, Freyja approaching Geena humming away tail flipped over her back.
When she doesn't get the message Geena will chase her off, she never actually spits at her but she blows plenty of air and grunts profusely! What on earth is going on with Freyja is any ones guess - please feel free let me have your thoughts!

Love hearing the Skylarks when we areup on the moors with the Llamas.
You just know Spring is on the way when you hear the skylarks! Do you hear curlews too...their cry is something I really miss hearing over here as they dont seem to come into the fields here, you just see them on the coast. You've made me feel quite nostalgic!
Yes Judy we do have curlews here, they have yet to arrive...
Curlews are here in Yorkshire. We will send a few your way. Woodpekers are active and Fin had a catapiller in his fringe the other day.
It's just an idea, but maybe Oonah is begging to be Geena's friend and simply wants to be with her but Geena is obviously unimpressed. Cheers Maureen
