Hi Suzynic
Sorry to hear about the fatality – always worse when it’s a hog you’ve got to know well.
It certainly has been a very strange year, hogwise. But there seem to be new people all the time finding they have hogs visiting, so maybe they just all started exploring further afield in the hot weather and have spread out more. We can only hope that that’s the case and that things eventually return to normal.
Good luck with the cam. They are so useful, but can also be such a nuisance! I wouldn’t read too much into there not being any evidence of hog poo. The one here at the moment is not leaving any ‘presents’. This reinforces my previous feeling that they seem to leave more when there are more hogs around. Maybe out of nervousness, to send a message, etc. – I haven’t worked that out! Having said that, the cat visits to my garden do seem to have increased again recently.
Good luck. Hope they turn up again soon.
