Exmoor Ponies moved to Brakey Bank Field

The exmoor ponies were moved yesterday to the field between Brakey Bank and Warren Wood (just west of Warren Cottage), so if you are visiting Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve to see the ponies that is where to look. Also up to eight raven have been seen in recent days, but very few passerine migrants.
