Mammals Long Mynd Ponies

[Tim Mayo]

We visited Carding Mill Valley yesterday (Shropshire, UK), which isn't too far from us. We took a circular walk called the Burway Loop which takes you up to the Long Mynd (an area of common land) which at its highest point is around 516m. It was a pretty misty start but the sun did eventually break through just as we bumped into some of the wild ponies up there. Some of these are pretty friendly and the 500mm I was carrying was definitely a little too long at times.

Really like the misty atmosphere. Particularly like #10, and the last photo.

Thank you Dave. The last family portrait shot is one of my favourites too.

Enjoyed looking at these images and wondered are they a native breed to that area.
