Hi all just a quick video from on the Welsh mountains, there is no music as i could not find anything suitable

I think it's called sheep worrying, careful the farmer doesn't shoot your drone (or your dog if you have one with you)

I was kind of expecting them to all run off the edge of a cliff

no sheep were harmed in the making of this video   

Why were they running?   The first bit doesn't look like they were responding to the drone, the second bit does, but maybe there was a dog following the drone?

When I have flown over Welsh sheep they have taken just slightly more interest than your horses did, horses never take any interest.

However different breeds probably respond differently, unless you are the farmer you shouldn't disturb any animals enough that they run, especially at lambing time, and we already have some lambs about.  Our farmers are allowed to shoot dogs that worry sheep, I wouldn't be surprised if they treated drones the same way and then got a lot of support for their actions, including from the police/courts.

no dog, farmer or lambs around !! and you are quite correct the first lot were on the move long before i got there

The farmer will be very disappointed to hear that none of his sheep will be having lambs this year!  They should all be pregnant ;)

It's a neat video, hopefully you're friends with the farmer so you didn't have to worry about Matt-and-Riley's warning.
