A dog behaviourist from Shropshire has admitted that his two pets killed dozens of lambs on a Herefordshire farm.

Charles Ross-Robertson pleaded guilty to owning two Rottweiler-cross dogs which killed the sheep, valued at £21,000, in Risbury last September.

At the time, farmer Thomas Hadley (pictured) said his field was "scattered" with dead sheep.

Ross-Robertson is due to be sentenced in May.

The dogs called Brindle and Bourneville have been kept in kennels since the attack, at a cost to the public of £7,500.

An application has been made for them to be destroyed.

Telford and Wrekin Council organised the protest over proposals it says "make absolutely no sense".

It has emerged the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospitals NHS Trust was told to improve its monitoring of foetal heart rates a decade ago.

The NHS regulator told the Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital trust that it wasn't learning from serious incidents. 

It is now under investigation after at least seven avoidable deaths were recorded in two years - five of which had a failure to monitor or analyse heart rates as a contributory factor.

In 2007, the Health Care Commission became involved at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital after a number of families started legal action following problems at the maternity unit. 

The trust says it carries out investigations into every case and is co-operating fully with the new inquiry.

Since then, failures to monitor foetal heart rates have contributed to the deaths of five babies.
