The Irish Wolfhound or stag may officially be our national animals, but a quick glance at the albums of Pbasers who have visited Ireland suggests another contender- the sheep.
I had never thought there was anything special about sheep until I joined Pbase and saw these wooly creatures abounding in the albums of people who had come here on holidays. Of course, I must also plead guilty to taking photos of sheep, especially during
lambing season.
A visit to some local shops selling souvenirs confirmed my suspicions - sheep are our most popular farm animal as far as visitors are concerned.
