Sheep

Spring. We encounter the secret life of sheep, and meet a goose obsessed with his reflection, a ram who is best friends with a four-year-old, and a piglet that thinks he is a cow.

It鈥檚 springtime on the farm and the focus is on sheep.

We follow the first 12 weeks of a lamb鈥檚 life on a Welsh Hill farm. Along the way we find out that sheep are highly social animals with not only a remarkable ability to recognise each other, but to recognise human faces too. We meet a ram that has befriended a shy four-year-old boy and we take a drone鈥檚 eye view of some multi-coloured sheep to show that despite being sociable, flocking is actually all about self-preservation. Other animals we meet on the farm include Charlie, a lonely goose looking for company in his own reflection.
