Hi Nic & RachH72, I was just pointing out the fact that they get frightened when you stand up and when they see a long shadow of a human. Yes, they are unpredictable, I seem to have a new hog in the front garden. I saw it last night and tonight I popped out to give it some treat biscuits. Remembering what you said about shining a torch on it to “freeze it” I went out armed with said torch as well. It stood there, eyes wide open, not bothered by the light and ran off to hide behind a tree trunk. It peeped round one side and seeing I had seen it, it turned round and peeped round the other side. It was quite comical really. I don’t think it’s a regular one as it hasn’t found its way to the feeding station in the back garden. Nothing has been eaten for days, so I’ve been out today and given the box a good cleaning out. I shouldn’t worry too much RachH72, you did what you thought was best at the time and you haven’t harmed them. They’ve found the food so will come back now. Best wishes.
