EXMOOR PONY
Exmoor ponies at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve serve as vital "living lawnmowers" for conservation grazing. A small, dedicated herd of four pure-bred Exmoors (two males and two females) resides on the reserve to help maintain meadow habitats and control tough vegetation.

EUROPEAN BITTERN
Mrs Bittern is still very active on feeding runs at WWT Slimbridge.
Best views are from the Estuary tower.

Spent the day at Santa Pod Raceway
Too hot for wildlife photography 🥵
This weekend is round one of the European Championships. All the professional racing teams fight it out on the quarter mile, racing up to speeds of 300mph!!
I now resemble a bright red lobster after sitting on the grandstand for several hours in 30°C sunshine 🌞 🌞

A few of my highlights from last weekends trip to the Farne Isles just off the beautiful Northumberland coast. Sorry about the number of puffin images. But there are approximately 90,000 of them on the islands!
On my way home I took a detour to RSPB Bempton Cliffs, often called 'Seabird city'. Up to half a million birds visit the cliffs to breed there in the spring and summer months.
Enjoy
