Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Ponies in Hickling Broad National Nature Reserve A herd of Koniks (all geldings) is kept in the Hickling Broad National Nature Reserve to help maintain the natural environment of the broad. Only when the water level rises very high during the winter months the horses are moved to higher ground. Koniks originate from Poland. They are self-reliant wetland specialists that are proving to be a great boost for the ecology of the area in that they love to graze on weeds, reeds and grass, thus helping to stimulate wildlife diversity in their fenland habitat.
Hickling Broad with its 500 acres of open water is the largest of the broads and Hickling Broad National Nature Reserve is an internationally important wetland habitat where endangered species such as the marsh harrier, bittern and swallowtail butterfly, as well as summer visitors like the spoonbill, are to be found in its grassland and marshes. The nature reserve can be accessed via a number of walking trails, some with hides for bird watchers. The Weavers Way also runs through the reserve. |
