Spring has sprung at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm after the birth of new-born Dorset lambs.

The North Somerset zoo was filled with joy as it signalled the beginning of lambing season.

Dorset lambs are known for their unique quality of being able to adapt to diverse climates and their distinctive white woolly coats.

Eleanor Steeds, farm section leader at Noah's Ark, said: "The farm barn has once again come alive with the playful antics of these adorable additions.

"We've named our first trio of lambs Bounty, Bon Bon and Lollipop!"

Ms Steeds commented further on the lambs' arrival: "Dorset sheep are unique in that they are not seasonal breeders so can lamb at any time of the year.

"They are a great breed for our first lambs of the season and give us something to focus on as the new year begins."

The zoo is encouraging visitors to come and meet the charming lambs, adding to the joyful spirit of the spring season.
