Shetland Ponies

On Orkney. So they are Orkney Shetlands. I went over to Hoy for a walk. It looked promising weatherwise in Stromness...grey but looking like it would brighten up. But it didn't really. I headed up to the Kame of Hoy and had a walk about along to Sandy Loch and got a lift up to the Dwarfie Stone area. Not too much bird-wise; snipe, fulmars, ravens, and a peregrine. The cloud got very low which hampered things. I did see about 5 mountain hare all in white. Easily spotted since there isn't any snow. These ponies were near Sandy Loch. I wonder if this is the sort of herd leader who came to check me out. A few other shots here:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/octobermoth/
