The 2016 lambing season has well and truly began with farmers across the country and the UK spending many hours of the day and night in the maternity shed.
Farmers have taken to Twitter to show off their new arrivals, tagging the photos with #Lambing16.
Noel Clancy’s lambing season kicked off this week, with the first delivery a set of triplets. Clancy is a sheep and suckler farmer based in Tipperary.
