New Forest Donkey
Whilst there are thousands of ponies and cattle in the New Forest there are only a few hundred donkeys. They are extremely hardy and can survive on the Forest all year round, browsing, like this one, on trees and bushes in preference to grass.
Unfortunately increased tourist activity in the New Forest this year due to the pandemic is driving a lot more animals including deer onto the roads. Respect for their habitat and well being must be paramount.
