FORAGING pigs, mischievous ponies and snow-covered landscapes are among nearly 50 New Forest images in a new online gallery of photos compiled by the National Park Authority.

Talented photographers include Mark Heighes, whose photographs have appeared on the BBC programme Countryfile.

He said: “Being a volunteer photographer for the New Forest National Park Authority means I can help to promote the New Forest’s breathtaking beauty.”
