After a little mucking around (which was really related to getting which is which of the white Alpacas sorted out), we've officially dubbed them with their names:

Meet:

Dalziel

(Sorry the photos of Dalziel came out a bit dark - it's a bitterly cold, overcast day here today).

Pascoe

Wieldy

(With added stick which he wouldn't let me get close enough to get off him!)

Hat

I guess whether or not the reason for these names makes any sense will depend a lot on whether or not you're a mad fan of Reginald Hill's books like I am.

So far they are doing a wonderful job with the grass around the back of the house yard - tomorrow we're going to let them into the main paddock for a while to see how they like a bit of extra space. At the moment, they seem very happy overnighting down beside the chook shed where there is a little shelter from the wind etc, so we might keep bringing them in there of a night - for a start because it's an area they are comfortable in, and because it means we're getting them used to being moved around.
