Expectation

The ponies aren't the only ones who can't wait for something to happen, I'm really looking forward to seeing them in their new environment, even though the transportation worries me a bit.




The range of grasses, shrubs, and trees at the new site seem endless and as the summer continues it is good to see the damselflies and butterflies making the most of the sun. The ponies will help them to establish their life-cycle by reducing the length of some of the grasses and opening up areas of ground. They'll reduce the impact of the pioneering silver birch and maintain the narrow tracks through the woodland.


I had a special guest with me today and we measured the outside perimeter of the reserve, some two miles.
