This amazing photo of a ewe and her baby lambs was captured by Liam and Laura Woods of Castletowncooley. Liam is a sheep and suckler farmer in the Cooley Peninsula and this is a sight he had never seen before. Luckily his wife Laura was on hand to capture the scene and the photo was a big local hit.
The tree in the photo was a 300 year old beech tree which ironically has its own claim to fame. It was photographed 2 yrs ago by local photographer Bernard O'Rourke for Murphy's petrol station calendar after being blown down on 18th September 2018 during a storm. With the help Carlingford Lough and Cooley Peninsula social media - the photo became an even bigger hit - making an appearance on Aimsir TG4. Laura and Liam have been absolutely delighted with the attention the photograph has received.
