Series 1: 1. Sheep

It’s springtime on the farm and the focus is on sheep.\nWe follow the first 12 weeks of a lamb’s life on a Welsh Hill farm.\nAlong 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’s 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. \n
