Wild Boar youngster taken yesterday - Hoglet or Piglet they are known as both. Mums not the prettiest but there were 7 of these little cuties so a hard life I suppose!
Fallow deers are common in the Spandau forest, especially in the north western part. They graze in groups of several dozens of individuals, enjoying specially the several clearings inside the forest.
During a 4 hours walk, I met one herd, that did not let me approach to less than a hundred meters. The photographied male seemed to rule the overall herd, mostly made of females and a few younger males.
Apart of it, a fox scampered from a few meters in front of me in one of the most secret parts of the forests, shortly followed by a small herd of five wildboars that did not hear me approaching ...
Bois du Breuil (Forest of Breuil) near Honfleur, Calvados, Normandie (Normandy), France. A rich forest, part of the commune of Équemauville and overlooking the communes (towns/villages) of Honfleur, Vasouy and Pennedepie as well as the River Seine. It belonged to the Dukes of Normandy until 1204 when King Philippe Auguste conquered Normandy and the forest passed to the French kings. Located 4km from Honfleur, the Bois du Breuil is one of the rare forests on the coastline and is open to the public. This forest, covering 120 hectares, is the property of the Conservatoire du Littoral (Coastal Conservancy). Great variety of species (32 listed species including oak, beech, Scots pine and maritime pine), a fine population of naturalised rhododendrons, large 1,200m path lined with beech trees dating from 1850. Preserved natural wealth thanks to meticulous management in keeping with nature. Access via the RD62 (Equemauville-Pennedepie road). 2 car parks. Round trip, approximately 5km, offering superb views over the Seine bay. www.conservatoire-du-littoral.fr/siteLittoral/115/28-bois... and www.calvados-tourisme.co.uk/diffusio/en/discover/natural-...

Wild Boar - Sus Scrofa
Forest of Dean
Status in Britain
Wild boars were apparently already becoming rare by the 11th century since a 1087 forestry law enacted by William the Conqueror punishes through blinding the unlawful killing of a boar. Charles I attempted to reintroduce the species into the New Forest, though this population was exterminated during the Civil War.
Between their medieval extinction and the 1980s, when wild boar farming began, only a handful of captive wild boar, imported from the continent, were present in Britain. Occasional escapes of wild boar from wildlife parks have occurred as early as the 1970s, but since the early 1990s significant populations have re-established themselves after escapes from farms, the number of which has increased as the demand for meat from the species has grown. A 1998 MAFF (now DEFRA) study on wild boar living wild in Britain confirmed the presence of two populations of wild boar living in Britain; one in Kent/East Sussex and another in Dorset. Another DEFRA report, in February 2008, confirmed the existence of these two sites as 'established breeding areas' and identified a third in Gloucestershire/Herefordshire; in the Forest of Dean/Ross on Wye area. A 'new breeding population' was also identified in Devon. There is another significant population in Dumfries and Galloway. Populations estimates were as follows:
The largest population, in Kent/East Sussex, was then estimated at approximately 200 animals in the core distribution area.
The second largest, in Gloucestershire/Herefordshire, was first estimated to be in excess of 100 animals. Legally classified as dangerous wild animals, the group is known to be feral descendants of domestic (Tamworth) pigs abandoned nearby. Their numbers grew by 2016 to at least 1500 and the Forestry Commission planned to reduce the total to a manageable 400. "Adult males can reach twenty stone (125 kg), run at thirty miles an hour, and can jump or barge through all but the strongest fences. Also, they are not afraid of humans, so (unlike deer) you can't just shoo them out of your garden."
The smallest, in west Dorset, was estimated to be fewer than 50 animals.
Since winter 2005/6 significant escapes/releases have also resulted in animals colonizing areas around the fringes of Dartmoor, in Devon. These are considered as an additional single 'new breeding population' and currently estimated to be up to 100 animals.
Population estimates for the Forest of Dean are disputed as at the time that the DEFRA population estimate was 100, a photo of a boar sounder in the forest near Staunton with over 33 animals visible was published, and at about the same time over 30 boar were seen in a field near the original escape location of Weston under Penyard many miles away. In early 2010 the Forestry Commission embarked on a cull, with the aim of reducing the boar population from an estimated 150 animals to 100. By August it was stated that efforts were being made to reduce the population from 200 to 90, but that only 25 had been killed.
The failure to meet cull targets was confirmed in February 2011.
Wild boars have crossed the River Wye into Monmouthshire, Wales. Iolo Williams, the BBC Wales wildlife expert, attempted to film Welsh boar in late 2012. Many other sightings, across the UK, have also been reported. The effects of wild boar on the UK's woodlands were discussed with Ralph Harmer of the Forestry Commission on the BBC Radio's Farming Today radio programme in 2011. The programme prompted activist writer George Monbiot to propose a thorough population study, followed by the introduction of permit-controlled culling.

This shot of a male Wild Boar was taken back in March this year, and was my entry to the BWPA awards, for which it was shortlisted in the portraits category.
That's a series of four pictures. I met a wild boar family when I was in the forest with my macro camera. The animals were rather far away. Which is unfortunate, because I had only a 90 mm lens. The 60D isn't good with high ISO. The shots are ISO 1600. It's the best I could get. The wild boars are really cute, though. A parent comes first. Then the little ones and finally the second parent. There must have been something interesting on the forest path. And the little ones stop to examine the exciting thing on the path.
This forest is a comfortable walk from Honfleur and even very enjoyable in the depths of winter.

The great thing about having a few 365's under my belt is I always have a fair few shots to share even when I've not been out for ages.
This one from my fave waterfall at the foot of Wildboar Clough.
3 shot pano using my beloved Auto Rikenon 55mm f1.4.
Mono conversion as I love a bit of black and white.

Piglets of wild boar.
This time, for taking pictures from an ambush, I, with the huntsman, at dawn, took a place not far from the bestial trail. Specially selected a shooting point against the sun (in the contour). The huntsman knew which side of the herd went on the path. To keep it as low as possible, at the level of small piglets, I had to shoot while lying. But when, finally, I waited for the animals and when the calculations according to the sun turned out to be correct, such spring live dandelions turned out.

Sus scrofa
Thanks once again to all those who view, comment, and fav my photos. It is really appreciated.
I happened upon a family of wild boar recently. Managed to get a few shots without waking them. These piglets (known as humbugs here for obvious reasons!) are only about 2 weeks old.
Moms are resting, leaning sideways to each other. And the monthly piglets, who apparently often like this, crawl into a warm place to warm themselves, curiously but watchfully, watch me, guard the rest of the moms. It is worth a little move - the little guards immediately, anxious grunting, give signals to adults.
Wild boar (lat. Sus scrofa), or boar, is a family of pigs.

It might not be the photo of the century, but how I ever contained my excitement when I spotted this gorgeous creature I'll never know!
Everyone I'd spoken to had said that an encounter was only likely at night... but I always live in hope!!! I was quietly walking through the woods when I first spotted him. I watched him rooting through the mud for a short while, and then he became aware of my presence, and stared straight at me!
Their eyesight is quite poor, so I guess he wasn't too sure how much of a threat I really was. However, after a few seconds (and me not breathing!!!!), he upped tail and took off through the vegetation!!!! I walked around with a stupid grin on my face for the rest of the afternoon!!!!

A wonderful nature moment to be able to photograph these little cuties! So lucky to encounter them
Thanks for all the views, faves and comments
