These 3 came down separately, but they then fed together (off the salt on the pavement so I didn't get a shot of that)... [welll ok actually I did, but I didn't share it. I don't like unnatural scenery in my wildlife shots] So I have to conclude that they are a family.

He came down on a different part of the mountain (closer to the treeline), I wanted desperatly to frame him against the mountains, but if I zoomed any more the shot wouldn't have worked. Also I wasn't about to get much closer, as I don't want my arse kicked by a big ram, heh.

Well done, Trevor; you make me want to 'pack up the old Chevrolet and head her way out west'.

Thanks for the comments everyone :)

Wonderful! They arent scared of people, are they? That lamb is symbolic

No not as much as other places. A park ranger told me that they've been conditioned over the years, to know that the area is a no hunting area, that most of them never leave the area.

Leave the area - get shot at. Stay inside - not get shot at. Pretty simple :)

Great shots mate. The one of the Ram with the mountain and blue sky behind is the winner for me
