Ouch, they have a birthday today... one bite on each ankle and 2 on my arms... good job I have got cloven feet (Despite my wife used to say when she called me a daft old goat or a bloody devil) I dont fancy Smallenberg disease... There again, I'm safe, she never did call me a fat old ewe !

The little perishers usually cluster (often in large numbers) around trees or high shrubs/bushes. They attack at dawn or dusk, but can still get a few sucks in at any time. The Scottish ones are particularly merciless.
