A killing spree by foxes stalking a Meirionnydd valley has prompted a desperate call to action by a sheep farmer who is losing more than one lamb every day.
Since his lambing season began three weeks ago, Meirion Jones has collected 27 carcases from his fields at Cwm Mynach Isa farm, Bontddu, Dolgellau.
Two more lambs were rescued with severe head puncture wounds but are unlikely to survive despite intensive nursing.
Mr Jones, 67, said the foxes are harbouring in the adjacent Coed Cwm Mynach, a 1,000-acre woodland owned and managed by Coed Coed (the Woodland Trust).
