I have a Camera trained on my Feeding Station and have been keeping a note of the comings and goings. Until mid August I had 2 regular visitors – often visiting to feed on 6 or more different occasions each night. Then towards the end of September one of them stopped visiting and I was upset to see a Hog that had been run over not far from where I live – I presume it was my missing visitor 🙁 Then, last week, the other Hog who had been visiting regularly 3 times a night, stopped the last early morning visit ( 06:00 ish ), and then stopped visiting altogether, with no visits for 5 days. I was quite worried that he had also been run over, but 2 nights ago he returned, just for one visit during the night, and the same again last night. They do roam a considerable distance during the night and may sleep in different places during the day, and this time of year when folks are tidying their gardens I wondered if one of the regular routes had become blocked up and it took a few days to find his way back.
