Lambs
Born as early as December in some
parts of Britain, lambs can have a tough
time as they adapt to the bad weather.
Lambs like playtimes and enjoy climbing!
They can even jump, using their back
legs to take off into the air.
Birds
There is a saying in English called “no
spring chicken”. If someone isn’t a spring
chicken, it means they are no longer
young. Yellow chicks from hens remind
people of the Sun reappearing after a
dark winter.
If you have a chance to walk in the
countryside by a farm or an estuary,
listen out for a lapwing! Like hares, their
chicks are born above ground from
March and are hidden from predators.
Listen to their call which is sounds a bit
like a party horn:
