A very friendly very happy old girl in the Forest of Dean,whom we got to spend the day with yesterday,if i'd have known then I probably wouldn't have got up at 430 am but it's wildlife right we all do these mad things.
Tell me she ain't lovely no bloody light 1/160 f 4 iso 5000

Hmmm interesting day saw some sights ANDSOME !!!.............. this old girl can do maybe 20yards in a second it's really impressive watching her turn from this gentle docile creature in the pic above to a wild boar. If you keep a dog act with great care in the Forest of Dean especially where there might be boar. I am no expert I want ya dog safe and da piggies,these guys have their reputation for a reason thank god for a deer fence !!!!!! Seeing it first hand is really something she gave plenty of warning plenty but folks are folks.
She never showed any form of anything other than being happy as hell with people, even though I spent the day walking backwards as she constantly came closer and others felt happy at a couple of yards, but, a dog, a differnt matter. This old girl did not like them at all ,and when she had had enough, the explosion was incredible but she told the lady as clear as hell she was p***ed off
I've looked after pigs a few years guys, no great experience!! You needed none to read her. Dog was on a lead taken to a boar by it's mistress
words almost fail but folks just don't know,
it's incredibly hard intervening humour works well....................................... I stared at the dog on a lead that had just walked up behind me, then at the boar, the at the dog, VERY obviously. Then said to the guy with a big smile I'm off over there bro,I don't want to be between that piggy and your doggy dog,will it charge the dog then mate he asked ,yeah sure buddy bigger smile it's amazing i've seen it this morning but we haven't got a fence i'm off over there. To be fair the guy was lovely he just didn't know his russel immediately picked up and carefully given to his good lady (clever guy sorry but he really did) had a chat and hopefully him and his cracking dog won't get into a scrape now.
This is a real worry in all seriousness!!!!! Folks hope to see these animals wild boar here in England rock and rock it's brill. They mean them no harm, but they take dogs and there is one hell of a conflict waiting to happen from which there will be no winners that should be avoidable....but how?????
Sorry guys things I saw worried me yesterday that I would rather not have, won't divulge the site as i'm worried for her frankly.
She's being watched by locals good guys, it's such a shame she's a little old lass maybe getting a bit of help but basically doing what she should bunging in the cals for winter when we first saw her it was just after dawn left just before dusk all day she never once stopped wagging her tail i don't know boar tails apart from straight out is something i don't want. but what surrounds her UGG !!
