A short video, poor quality images as the Hog wandered right up to the camera, will try positioning it higher up tonight.

It looks a big one, Burnie….it would be good if it was a Mother.

We have three about at the moment…..i’m dreading finding one of them knocked over on the road!

I used to see them here but as different people have moved in they have mostly gone for concrete fencing without any gaps for them to travel. I did discuss leaving a gap with the folk on each side of me at the time but totally ignored & in fact thought I was a bit mad. Probs saved some hogs actually as those at the time were very generous with their pellets & sprays as well.

Lovely to see Burnie.

We had 2 in out garden, one slightly smaller than the other and then t’other night a teeny tiny one, so assuming they’ve bred. They’re a bit shy of us and run away at the slightest sound as the blind collie keeps bumping his nose on them. They smell interesting to him lol.

we've got a big fat fella who comes onto the patio every night at about 9-9.30 to hoover up the mealworms we leave out for him. I am hoping he's staying in the house we built for him during the day. We will try and get some video of him over the weekend. It's so lovely to see one!

There was a massive one in our back shed, Sunday morning…..maybe the biggest one I have seen for many a year!
