Beautiful scenery and animal... What is that, wild ponny roaming bogs and forests? Where is it taken?

Thanks for the comments!

I believe that they are konik ponies, they really are beautiful.
The picture was taken in Kent and the animals are 'semi wild' meaning that they are free to roam in a certain area of the woods, moved around throughout the year. They are looked after by the Kent wildlife trust.
I was actually heading towards where they used to be, when I looked up and there was one standing in front of me.
 
I had a stroll around Newport Wetlands RSPB reserve last week. I had the dog with me so was restricted to the perimeter loop which is about 4 miles or so. I was exactly half way around before the sky turned this colour...

It looked great with the sun on the reed beds and dark skies beyond and even better that I got back to the car before the rain started :cool:
 
Thanks guys - people forget that insects need to drink - that photo is of a plastic chicken waterer that I keep near to the hives - it gets very busy when the sun comes out

The rocks make sure the bees don't fall in and drown :)


On this one you can see the actual drinking process which is nice
