pink sheep

Did you know that some highland sheep are dyed pink so that they can be
found in the snow

Re: pink sheep

LOL!

I have just GOT to photograph that

I've seen examples up in the Lake District where it has rained shortly after the sheep have been spotted with dye - causing a similar effect. Hillarious

That's what they tell you, but it's really that some sheep have bad fashion sense!
