DESPITE there being no sign of spring in the weather, there is a spring in the step of newborn lambs.

And people are being invited along to RSPB Saltholme to watch Shetland sheep giving birth in the site’s newly built sheep shed.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy plenty of woolly crafts and fun activities throughout the Easter holidays.

The lambing live experience, at the attraction near Billingham, will run most days during the lambing period, but there will be regularly scheduled times to visit the lambing shed during the day.

Entry to the sheep shed is free but there is a £2 charge for anyone wanting to take part in the craft activities.
