It's been a hard day!!

At the Arne RSPB nature reserve in Dorset a range of techniques is used to keep the heathland open, as it has been for thousands of years. A key part of getting this right is grazing, so don’t be surprised if you bump into cattle, ponies or pigs during your visit.
The pigs are I think the Mangalitza breed but I could be proven wrong.
