9th March - The rain started around mid-night and kept going, easing about mid-day. N/NE light wind, 6C

I have not seen so much standing water on the fields here the whole winter.  All the brooks are overflowing and the ground is sodden with standing water.

Fearing the worst for the lambs in the fields given the conditions (cold, very wet, ideal for  hypothermia) it was promising to see them up and about with their mums and some sheltering, only one succumbed to the weather.
