Pygmy goats Boomer, Dingle, Tootle, and Tumble have been meeting and greeting locals and visitors on Abingdon Lock Island since the start of August. Their current fencing is made from upside-down crowd control barriers, which didn’t stop one of them from escaping yesterday for a short while.

Thankfully, the goat was quickly recaptured, and the crowdfunding campaign to buy new fencing has succeeded. With the £572 raised, the goats will soon have 15 Galvanised 6ft Interlocking Sheep Hurdles to keep them safe and secure.

The goats are a source of joy for visitors and locals alike. They are such crowd-pleasers!
