Wild ponies introduced to RSPB nature reserve in Yorkshire

A herd of wild ponies has been introduced to an RSPB nature reserve in Blacktoft Sands, near Goole.

The konik ponies will keep the grass nice and short, which will allow the ground-nesting birds at the reserve to make their nests.

The ponies originate from Poland and like to forage for their food. They will be perfect for the reserve, especially as they are a tough species and suitable for a life outside.
