Forest donkey with nest building friends
It's the time of year when all the birds are building nests, but this season's "must have" material for nest lining is obviously donkey hair, as these two jackdaws can't get enough of it. The donkey doesn't look too fed up with the arrangement, although they never look pleased at anything.
This donkey is one of the small herd which wander free on the open Forest near Abbots Well, in our home village of Frogham. They usually congregate outside the Forester's Arms pub, but the pub is currently closed for refurbishment. It is due to re-open early in May, and I have every expectation that I will have to shove my way past a crowd of donkeys to get to the bar.
