AdvertisementA pair of feisty konik ponies were pictured fighting for dominance at the National Trust’s first ever nature reserve, 120 years after it opened its doors. The majestic animals were pictured during the foaling season at Cambridgeshire’s Wicken Fen, as the site aims to boost its wildlife population. The group’s oldest nature reserve is the most species-rich area of the UK with more than 9,300 recorded, including 25 that were new to the UK and seven declared as new to science. Konik ponies and free-roaming highland cows were introduced in 2001 to spread seeds which they carry in their hooves, mane and coat.
