Boars cam, winter 2012 - 2013

Big loner chased the others...

Hi Bisky!
It's still there

Yep, I am watching him and enjoying the munching -- I should be doing other things, but I am not!

So many!


Several don't dare to come out of the woods

They all left..
I wonder who will come on stage now,the roedeer I guess..

It looks like someone knocked the salt off the the little pole.

She is being wary of the downed salt pole -- there is also a companion off to the left out of camera range.

Loner is visiting


Still eating an hour later

More snow.


A very cautious deer -- it keeps well to the back.

In Estonia it still is real winter...For me ....I would love to have snow
here! It's about 7 * warm , today sunny and tomorrow it will bring
new rain..

Hello Ergee
Today is Groundhog Day in the United States. Phil the groundhog says that we will get an early spring!

Crazy Americans! Do other countries have a similar ritual to forecast spring?

Two young bucks

Ct 6.52. Bisky got them both! I only the first anxious animal.
They have to scratch a bit and will find tasty food...
They look so nice together!

Here there are so many persons who try to tell that, but they mostly
fail...
And we don't have any groundhogs...and mice, rats, hare etc are probably not so reliable! As soon as the goose fly direction nord or east it will be warmer..but as soon as they turn round and fly back....
We will see ...
The wind will blow from an other direction at the ground, the dog's barking is
much louder.

Ct 21.40 This boar seems big like a bear...and is nervous.....
sniffing and jumping and running..if he breaks a leg it's his own fault!
And the far away dog is almost howling and barking together..what lies
is the air??

Getting a bit calmer now..

Is there somebody in the hide?? Sniffing and sniffing...

Two loners! The one that is closer to the cam is affraid of the other

They changed positions! The one that was in the back chased the other and came to eat on its spot and the other one went to the back

Hummm... A defy?




One found better to keep the distance

But I warn you: don't come too close!

They really do not like each other very much!


It is starting to snow again.

But yet they seem to know that the risk to get wounded in a real fight
is too high, dangerous and not nessecary: just a bit display of power will do..
there is no important reason for a fight.
(and they must not impress sows, looking at them) .

A big family arrived with lots of small pigs

Ct 00.07 Rather calm, they act like "he" is not there...

This is the group with Limpy!


Ct 00.20

All is quiet now. It appears that the salt cube and the broken piece of the pole got moved around a bit by the large bunch of pigs.



Oops -- spoke too soon. Here comes a bunch of little ones with a mom.


Well, that did not last very long. Crabby came and chased them off!

Loner is here! And playing with the upper part of the salt pole
Moving it around the feeding ground

I just came on to post almost the exact pictures you took!

Just like me, it does not take much to amuse him.

I made a small video, but I don't manage to post it. Maybe if Caysa has time I can send it to her

The pig left but there are some pig noises in the background

One loner again. Is it the same? Or they changed shifts?
