Wild Pig Cam 2010 discussion Camera 1

[ame]

the first boar is approaching cautiously....

wow what a sky....
BTW: does anyone remember seeing a hare here on pig cam? either an European hare (Lepus europaeus) or a mountain hare (Lepus timidus)?
i guess that L. europaeus should be a rather common animal in Estonia, too, as they are extremely common in Finland. here they live everywhere in great numbers, also in cities, including city centres.

there was a yellow car parked on the road there beside the arena. it just left. i checked my pictures and it had been there for almost an hour. that must have been the voices i heard.
the lights turned on. what a shame: we'll lose the rest of the 'normal' sunset...

about 20 boars celebrating the Festive Supper on the occasion of the Independence Day of the Republic of Estonia.

rather peaceful munching has been going on, with only few quarrels.

[ame]

still the same munching going on...

I have heard some explosive grumbles -- but always when I am away from the computer.

February 25th. Good morning!
it's a beautiful morning again. first birds are arriving, and i hear a lot mote crows and ravens calling somewhere far. in the first picture there's an unrecognizable jay on the left and two hooded crows on the right.

actually it almost sounds like crows were having a sort of argument out there.
some little birds along with crows.

also a lot of normal "good-morning"-craws of ravens.
some more litle birds, most likely yellowhammers.

great pictures, venagor!
is this what your were trying the night before, posting pictures? now you succeeded, well done.
i had another look at your message. i don't know where you have uploaded them but i think you should be able to find the 'image codes' (i don't know the proper word) there somewhere which look like this:
[*img]http://i078.radikal.ru/1002/1e/5d01787e05bf.jpg[/img*]
i the above i added stars * but without then it's valid address and voilà: there are your pictures.

some ravens have come:

and some are feeling romantic

There is not much food left this morning.

[ame]

there were lots of dinner guests. besides it didn't seem to be so much food to start with. and the bread-stuff apparently flew away before the boar got here.

[venegor]

Crow was a piece of bread

[ame]

venegor, is this picture from yesterday? i can't see the time stamp there on top-right-corner?
raven are very fast in taking all the bread away.

[ame]

there was a man standing there and looking around. was it Mait? i almost missed him as i was admiring the snow-crystals on the seal shore..

i don't think so...? - but it is a lovely day. what a relief after all that snowing...

[alice44]

I don't think so either.

The light is pretty with the shadows. The raven sounds like it is sitting almost on the cam.

[ame]

food has been delivered. it seems to be giant popcorn alias bread/buns, potapples and grain. -and the bread is flying away as usual.

very loud and happy chirping of little birds in the background. - i think they are sparrows...

Ame, thanks for trying to help venegor!

Do pigs eat garlic too?
