it's been empty feeding ground for some time now....

the ground is still empty..., has been all the time. i can hear the rain drops hitting the microphone... i think i'll now. nighty night!

I have seen the pig with the swollen leg (I do wonder what the injury was) quite often, I think it comes in the late night so at a better time for me to see it.

March 20th: good morning!
the ground is empty but the are a lot ravens calling around in the forest. there water puddles on ground. it's cloudy but not too heavy clouds.
correction: there are little birds on the ground there in the back.

yesterday evening there was a short incidence, when one boar decided to show 'the place of the cupboard' to one of the other pigs. (that is a Finnish way to say: 'who is the boss'. )

one more cute pigface from yesterday evening, taken at 20.02.

look at that snout, smack!

i've heard people talking in the background for some time already, and now there were a few bangs: gunshots! someone is practising there in the shooting yard... i'll have to turn the sound lower....

the banging has been going on with some irregular intervals. the Sun is coming out! ... maybe.

no sunshine but food has been delivered. it's been Mait again, thank you.

the pigs are coming. at 18.52:

... and 5 minutes later at 18.59:

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

Lots of green pigs in the mud!

22:22 ;-)

Many pigs are still eating mostly peacefully.

about 12 pigs munching very peacefully.
i think i saw the pig with the bad leg walk out of the picture behind the table, but i'm not sure... the ground in wet but there are no puddles, yet.

I think I saw him push off an other pig that got to close.
I think this is him and he kept the eating peacefully. Next to him in this image is the pig he pushed away from the pile of food under his nose.


Later another pig just looked at the two of them and they both moved away.

3:25
Loud screeches but nothing living visible. I guess it was raccoon dogs -- sounding more like cats.

4:18 Pigs came back




It took them a few minutes to settle in to eating

5:37
I am not sure when the lights went out, but pigs are still munching away in the almost but not quite darkness.



I guess just because they are so far away they seem soooo small. The last little one does not seem to want to go. It just kept eating and now the others are returning.





They are constantly muttering mumbling talking to one another.

The little one won out and they stayed a while longer.

March 21st: good morning!
it seems to be a relatively fair morning, but not quite sunshine yet. the ground is muddy and there is no-one there. i can hear a magpie warning and ravens crowing in the forest...
