Only one of the Exmoor ponies appeared to notice that something was afoot on the moorland this afternoon.

Levels and measurements were being taken for an exciting new project, phase one of the creation of a large wader scrape on the far moor.

Rob and Rob, two experienced landscapers from Barningham came to map out this new development which will begin later in January.

This involved very specialised equipment such as this theolodite.

Later on, for the first time ever, one of the ponies was observed lying down. Maybe it was all the excitement or just the end of a long year!

At dusk, the mallards were also resting on the tree that was felled into the lake as part of the Tony Robinson TV series Coast to Coast.
