A splendid composition indeed, and the sheep are grouped in a very interesting way. All open for speculation ;)

If you think I constructed this image -

Open for speculation what the sheep might thinking, was what I meant.

Oh, on this great island where were-rabbits flourish (according to Wallace & Gromit), surely there must be were-sheep as well. Thus , obviously  they were just looking sternly at the photographer to evaluate his worth as a quick snack :D

Sorry, John - I thought you were questioning my integrity as a photographer - something I am quite protective about.

Bjørn comes close - they did have food on their minds and very likely mistook me (humans all look the same) for the farmer who gives them their winter feed every day - which is why they remained docile and interested for as long as they did.

A known wildlife photographers trick here is to dress like a farmer which is an all blue coverall, this works wonders on both the life stock but also the wildlife whom have learned by now that the farmers are harmless to them. Walk around in camo and they get spooked easily.
Cheers,

No problem, David. Perhaps I expressed myself wrong, but it was clear you re-discovered your old film-negatives ;)

Great shot!
Brings something to my mind which I consider well spend 90 minutes.

Camouflage? don't know  ???
You may want to watch this movie.
