The sheep slowly munch their way through the long grass, no doubt also providing a perfect location for their lambs to be raised. The older sheep were munching on the short grass, but the lambs were particularly taken with the longer tougher stalks.

It’s certainly not a sight you would expect to see just a mile or so from a city centre, but it seems to do the trick. The council did try using pigs to clear some ground elsewhere, but they didn’t seem quite as successful; one lot of pigs escaped from the field and needed to be rounded up by a couple of policemen! Thankfully these sheep seem much better at staying in the correct area.
