Konik horses Equus ferus caballus are a rare, unusual breed descended directly from the Tarpan, the wild European forest pony which was hunted to extinction in Britain in Neolithic times. Today, Konik’s are a popular breed for conservation grazing in the UK, particularly on wetland sites. They thrive on rough forage, coarse grasses and herbs, shaping natural habitats. By grazing and trampling, wallowing and scenting, their influence benefits a multitude of species, maintaining and fostering diverse communities of grasses and wildflowers. Seen here on Wicken Fen near Cambridge.
Sue lives close to the north Norfolk coast and her photography demonstrates her ability to observe and capture wildlife, hence she is often found hiding in the bottom of a hedge! She has photographs periodically published in the National press.
