a few ravens and crows have been picking grain there on hte ground. more ravens are crawing in the forest still....

[Kuremari]

a buzzard is mewing somewhere not far!
15.52

[ame]

footsteps... food delivery coming! first some grain. Mait is there.
- now i can hear the buzzard, too.

[ame]

now something more: black sticks??
hmm.. i think they are very ripe bananas.
i've also been wondering what those orange balls are, which have been there all day. could they be oranges?

[Kuremari]

bananas...lucky boars
and these orange balls look like oranges ...what else they could be?

[ame]

then a big sack of that giant popcorn/bread/rolls or something...

[ame]

onions?
let's see what the ravens think of bananas...
now a dog came there sniffing...
edit: i just remembered that the boars were given oranges once last year and they were there on the ground for a very long time. nobody wanted to eat them. maybe they were too hard-frozen that they were impossible crush, like that pomelo there on the right side.
besides the strawberries vanishes the other night when it was above zero. i think the strawberries were just a big frozen lump before that which the boars couldn't eat.

OMG: that was a box of grapes, wasn't it?!
what next? cheese and red wine?!

Greetings, Mait.
Thank you for all this food!

[ame]

i checked the weather: it's almost +3 degrees there now. if the boars will arrive sooner than yesterday, all the delicacies will not be frozen yet. then they'll have a real party!

some little birds were there already checking the goodies (i think there was a great tit checking the pile of bread in the centre)

now i hear ravens approaching... soon we'll see some flying bread again, i guess.

[asteria]

What food is it? Salt cucumbers????

[ame]

surprisingly enough, instead of being flown away the first bread-roll was taken for a walk in the forest. one of the ravens walked very solemnly across the whole arena from the front to the back, passed all the fruit on its way, picked up the bun in the back and continued walking into the forest. - there were three of them on the ground but then they left again. i wonder why they prefer to stay away today.

now there are very loud choirs of both crows and jackdaws calling. it sounds that they are gathering into flocks to retire to stay overnight in the wood somewhere. they do it in flocks...

[ame]

that would be something! - which pile do you mean?
i think the black sticks are bananas (on the ones in the front there are stickers on which i almost can read 'Chiquita' )

the green piles, one on the mid-left and the other back-left, are grapes, i think. at least they looked like grapes when Mait poured them out of the box (i mean that they fell out of the box like grapes...)

now there are more ravens coming...
edit 17.34: these ravens seem to mean business: they begin to take the rolls to a flight.

[Jo UK]

There goes another bread roll, being escorted off the premises!

[Jo UK]

These bread rolls are not so easy to carry as the bread slices!

[ame]

the first boars are here, about ten of them.
let's see what they think about today's supper.

[ame]

yep, they can take only one at a time.

[ame]

it seems that, as usual, that the delicacy numero uno is grain as usual.
i like the decency of the boars here (if it's not too busy!) not to tread on food even if it does not interest them too much: they walk nicely around the piles of grapes instead of trampling across them.

[Kuremari]

they are very conservative- choice no 1 - still grain

[ame]

now they all left for some reason... it seems that the bananas and grapes are still mostly untouched.

18.53 pigs are back!
