The great Diaspora

 So flocks of Orkney Boreray sheep are going to Hoy and Stronsay , as well as the one on Shapinsay . 

And its quite a logistic exercise to get the correct sheep in the correct trailer at the correct time, going to the correct place.  And not helped by  bad weather and cancelled sailing, which meant  a lot of re-arrangement as well. 

 

So lots and lots of sheep hurdles.   you can never have too many sheep hurdles  

And then get your sheep all in the right place 

And get them split into the neccesary groups  - Hoy, Stronsay and staying 

And then get them loaded 

 And then the lot going to Stronsay 

And finally deposited on the boat to Stronsay, to be picked up at the other end 

 9am and all done and delivered by 3 pm . With a break for lunch.
