How is it possible to get a group photo of sheep: no problem, just show them the camera and they gather together. I encountered this group of sheep all spread over the field and then they saw me. In a few seconds they all gathered together. Perhaps it was curiosity or perhaps just something that sheep do. One of them makes a decision. it seems to be a global decision and they all do the same thing. I am sure sheep have mastered the secrets of telepathy.

You’re probably right! That’s why they all are posing in the same way!

They are show stoppers.

Freshly sheared too from the look of them. Brrrrrr!

AND they have all been freshly sheared. All the sheep will do whatever their bellwether tells them to do. They do not think much but they are very good at following a leader.

They were on their own on the hillside, but assonance as I appeared they all came together to watch me

They’re beautiful. My friend that I went to CH with had a moral objection to putting bells on sheep and cattle. She saw it as animal abuse. Sometimes Americans are incredibly annoying.

I think they are more an annoyance to the neighbours that have to listen to them constantly

There has been an ongoing discussion in Switzerland about bells and cows, indeed on the grounds of animal abuse (because they cannot avoid the noise).

I lives in a village surrounded by cows and they do not usually have bells. I think the Farmer could not afford to supply them all with bells

I know there was a court case in Switzlerland – but not on the grounds of animal abuse but because somebody felt bothered by the sound. I can’t remember the outcome but the discussion revolved around Swiss traditions and life style and culture. I’ve did a short check – in Bavaria there was a similar case, and in Austria, too. I believe the bells made sense when the cows are roaming free on mountain pastures, notwithstanding whether it is cruel ot the animals.

I seem to remember that one. We also had a debate about not removing the cow horns. That was an initiative but the Swiss people decided they should be removed. I was one of the voters that found the cows should be able to keep their horns

And with those bells there is no denying that they are Swiss. We have sheep in a few meadows around here, none wears a bell.

I very rarely see sheep. The photo was taken a few years ago.
