Many times I have been to the Dwingelderveld, but never encountered the flock of sheep that roams there all year round. But so this time I did. It is Sunday 26 March 2023 and at the end of the afternoon, from the (empty) sheepfold, I see white woolly backs grazing in the distance about 1.5 km away. Almost at a run for it! Would it work this time? Once I arrived, it was prize shooting and I was able to take countless photos. At the same time, I got talking to the shepherd. Great to see such a flock under the control of the dog as well as the shepherd. The smallest clue her and the whole flock starts moving. Wonderful, I can tick this one off. Or yet not quite yet. The flock in the middle of the blooming heather would also be beautiful..... So I still have to go back again in summer. ;)
