Wild goats of Snowdonia

Sunday morning Ben Andrew and I headed into Snowdonia with two targets, the Goosander and the wild feral goat. This post will deal with the goat's.
The feral goats have roamed Snowdonia since Neolithic times, although it seems likely that during the ages at least some of them will have had their original blood lines watered down.
We found a couple of young kids quite near the road, this gave Ben the chance to get his first pictures. He did need some convincing though that he wasn't photographing somebodies pet's. After taking a few shot's of the youngsters we carried on to see if we could find any more, a group of four adults were half way up an extremely steep slope. The slope was too steep for us to climb with our camera gear so we took a few "environmental" shot's from the bottom.
Hope you like the pictures.
