Snowdrops and Ponies on Exmoor

The Snowdrops were looking fantastic this weekend at Snowdrop Valley, Wheddon Cross, Exmoor. This secret valley in the south of the National Park is worth a trip at this time of the year as it blooms with thousands of Snowdrops.
As well as plants, birds and mammals were also enjoying the sunshine. Exmoor Ponies could be seen throughout the moor as could rabbits. Goats enjoyed grazing at the Valley of the Rocks, just west of Lynton and Roe Deer were enjoying lunch in the graveyard at Simonsbath.
Pheasants were every where, including the road. Raven and Buzzards soared in the blue skies around the Tarr Steps and another of the moor's specialities: Dipper, was in the stream there.
A little colour was added by the kayakers at Watersmeet who were braving the raging white water.
