Marsh Farm Country Park, in South Woodham Ferrers, has been busy looking after 11 ewes who have given birth and another 50 who are due to before the end of the autumn. Youngsters are welcome to visit the farm at weekends to see the new arrivals.

The park is open, only at weekends, until December 20, when it closes for the winter. Karen Ager, marketing and information officer, said: "We are eager to show off our new arrivals on the farm. The triplets are a real treat as ewes normally only give birth to one or two lambs."
