No worries The pigs are wild (at least those on Cam 1 they are but I´m sure the pigs on Cam 2 are also wild!).
Feeding is necassary in winter - just as feeding small birds in the garden!

Wild or not , and a genuine native of the Estonian fauna or not is probably a matter of definition. Feral, maybe ?
There were no boars in Estonia for a long time before the 1920ies; they are probably not really quite able to manage on their own if a colder period returns and no humans will feed them (and keep nice grain and potato fields to root in, and keep down the number of wolves). http://www.looduskalender.ee/en/node/2492

First group of little ones arrived....

A dog and his whistling owner chased the first group away.

Is it a deer in the back at the first pile???

Yes it is! And it has all the food to itsself.

A deer...

I see more than 30 wildpigs ;)

19.04 -- a dog is barking somewhere not far from the feast. :)

The barking continues non stop but the pigs are munching away.

Interesting to see this place in daylight (it looks more romantic at night). But is the feed shoveled off the back of a truck? How else would the tire tracks and the piles of food be in the same place?

and more importantly, will there be a snowman here?

LOL, Bociany. Maybe we could make sure that the EE net video on how to make a snowman is seen by those people!

I searched through the archives to find these
