A small surprise in the paddock

Beautiful day today and we walked down to move the alpacas into a new paddock.



Unusually there was one missing from the group - our oldest, Merlot. Thinking the worst we cautiously looked over the rise in the paddock and found we had a new cria!


She was only an hour or so old when we found her and the name we are thinking of for her is "Lily".


She is still very unsteady on her feet and not too good at finding the teat yet, so after a quick cuddle they were left to sort things out for themselves.
