A Konik pony LinkExternal link beside the lagoon, at the RSPB nature reserve. “Resident konik ponies also graze the reserve, creating ideal conditions for ground-nesting birds like lapwings” - Visit Northern Ireland website.
There are supposed to be six but I’ve never seen more than two. For another example see TL5570 : Herd of Konik Ponies, Wicken Fen.

An area, managed by the RSPB, overlooking the harbour lagoons and the Victoria Channel. There is an admission charge to the visitor centre which includes the use of scopes. The hides are free as is parking beside Airport Road West. The facilities are open to all – no RSPB membership needed. I have no connection the society.
