Both with 50-135 Gareth. The 202 mm is the 35mm equivalent.

That's actually quite interesting - thanks Gareth and Tim for pointing it out.
I've reset the image in question, and even the original raw file looks to have quite 'nervous' bokeh in that region of the crop.
I've then gone to the next image in the series, and lo! Same stuff! Lacking in inspiration for now, the best suggestion I can offer is that it may be a combination of focal length, aperture / dof, and the particular background pattern created by the leaves on the willow trees behind. The camera clearly doesn't like it. It's the same lens / camera combo I've used in many other scenarios (some of which were posted here as jpg crops too) - none of those was affected.
Hmm - maybe a K5 might solve this...
Edit - Tim: Congrats on the new i-Pad - happy:

This bokeh behaviour is something I've noticed on the 50-135mm. Still my best lens, though Nice shots.

Never mind the bokeh, there's nothing wrong with the sharpness of the lens. The detail is quality stuff. I too like the way you've desaturated the pictures.

Aye, I like these. Wonderful detail and clarity with depth control (f/5.6).

The clever and subtle post processing raise these above the level of simple sheep shots. (Try saying that quickly!)
Best wishes,

The processing adds a pleasant drama to the humdrum life of the sheep.

Thanks everyone for the comments - the processing is courtesy of LR3.2. I'm very happy with what it does with images.
