Springtime lambs in the UK

I saw this little guy while walking around a place called Stowe Gardens in England. I happened to be there just as the lambs were becoming frisky and starting to explore a little further afield than their mothers. The sheep are left to run wild around Stowe Gardens and run around they do. This little one was starting to look a little nervous and look around for its mother. I had focused in on him because of the composition I could see with him near the tree and the shapes of other sheep behind. I was using a 70-200 2.8 zoom with a 1.4x extender attached. The 1.4x increases the minimum aperture of the lens as it adds 1 stop. So, a 70-200 2.8 becomes a 98-280 f4. This was perfect for me to be able to maintain my distance also allowing me to shoot at f4 to make sure the trees and sheep behind are nicely blurred. Just after this shot was taken, he spotted his mother and ran off.
