Thankyou Jackie for some lovely new photos of Bella at work, a selection of which will be appearing on Bella's dedicated page.

Bella excelled herself gathering the large flock - nearly a hundred - at the Zoo field and successfully penning them all, a first for any of our trainee Beardies, and luckily the camera was whirring to capture it all for posterity.

The task was made especially challenging by the recent weather.  The field is awash with mud and  huge puddles everywhere which Bella splashed through constantly in her determination to get the job done! Needless to say she was not looking her best when she finished, but who cares?  Well done little Bella!
