Mine haven’t appeared for around 3 weeks now, with the straw-indicators on the 3 hog-houses and 2 feeding-stations (stocked with dried food) all in place.
Tonight I went out to offer some scraps to the foxes and checked the straws.
One of the feeding-station’s indicators had been triggered.
Quickly checked the hog-houses. No, no one out.
So I lifted the lid of the feeding-station to check if food had been taken, and there was a hog tucking into the dried cat food.
Not one I recognised either, longer and sleeker than my usual recent visitors.
I placed some wet cat-food in jelly in with him and left him to it.
Then I checked the other feeding-station on the far-side of the garden.
Again the straw had been triggered but no hog inside, but the dried cat food was all gone, so I topped that up.
It seems that while my lot are still tucked in, others are taking advantage of the warmer weather to feed.
I suppose I’d best set up the trail-cam and see who else is about 🙂
ps I had a rare male pheasant come into the garden yesterday, very handsome 🙂
