SPARSHOLT College near Winchester enjoyed another successful lambing weekend.

Some 1,800 visitors visited the college to see the annual sign that spring is on its way.

The college's 320 ewes are expected to give birth to some 600 lambs over the next few weeks.

On Saturday and Sunday around 70 lambs were born, said a college spokesman.

It is the third year Sparsholt has opened its doors to allow the public to see the lambing and it will repeat it in 2008.
