Terrible photo as she’s about 1 kilometre away, at dusk and taken with my damaged-lens Canon SX700HS on full zoom (hopefully a new camera will come this week).
Initially we spotted her as a large black lump crossing a field while going on our usual daily walk. It’s the first boar I’ve seen this year, although there’s plenty of evidence that they’re around. I’m glad we saw her from a distance as it would have been very unpleasant if she’d crossed our path with her piglets – boar are ferociously protective of their young. I really wish I could have gotten a decent photo of the piglets, though, as they’re incredibly cute (unlike their parents)…
