Three pig arcs578 mol gekuckt ginnA project not quite finished. The hard core needs to be compacted on Monday to keep the wild boar from just messing it up. The hard core is quite thick, and very porous. The rain water should drain away --- which it doesn't do with clay.

Waterlogged Field with Wild Boar571 mol gekuckt ginnThe recent heavy rains were too much for the land drains in this field. (On the day this photo was taken -- January 13 2008 -- the River Severn, just down the road from us, flooded over its banks into parts of the City of Worcester.)

Wild Boar in the Mud From Recent Heavy Rains567 mol gekuckt ginnDespite the presence of elaborate land drains (installed by us when we purchased this property) it still gets very muddy when we have heavy rains. We are installing hard core on the upper portion of the field so the wild pigs will have a dry area.

Why won't they move away from the food?562 mol gekuckt ginnLike all pigs, wild boar are food focused. They are so used to us that they are quite relaxed about us being in the same field.
