There were strange goings on at the farm today when a flock of sheep made their own version of a crop circle.

About 100 of the woolly creatures formed an orderly ring - baffling the farmer and passers-by.

But after hearing the roar of the boss's tractor the animals scattered like a group of naughty schoolboys.

Snip...

Photographer Russell Bird, who captured the amazing scene, said:"I was quite taken aback. I couldn't believe what I was seeing," he said.

"I did see a dog worrying sheep nearby beforehand and the dog ran off round the hedge in a different field, so I don't know if they were discussing that."

If you'll put your PC's magnifyer on, you'll notice a strange perverted-looking dog with a face resembling that of Truman Capote at the beginning of the circle?

Yeah. Pax_et_bonum, thackney and I have some obscure ping lists. I drew the sheep circle ping list a couple of years ago. I don't get to use it very often. ;-)

That is a very humorous post. I sat here and LOL’d at the tought of you actually FReeping on a Sat. morning and having an opportunity to {{.. dear God, can it really be....?}} dust off the Sheep Circle Ping List... :o)

Maybe they’re attracted to a gigantic ring of fungus?

If this is the case, I hope the copycats can do better than a circle? This could get fun.

Actually, it's a wet, chilly Saturday evening where I am.

Yes, I get pretty excited when I get to use to Sheep Circle Ping List.

Every now and again, I get to use the Camels of Mass Destruction Ping List that I also have.

Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for the Sheep Circle Ping!

Now if I could only remember who drew that Sheep Parallelogram Ping List....
