Long lost blog

I haven't been very good at keeping up to date with this blog because I tend to share videos on Instagram these days (wild_animal_welfare). However, I should remember to write here because there are nature sightings that occur without a camera or video to record the event like the other day when I saw two wagtails interacting very intensely by the river. I think it must have been a fight over territory as they wouldn't leave each other alone and it almost looked like one was going to push the other underwater at one point! 

The most exciting sighting was a few months ago when a roe deer ran in front of me in the hills though, unfortunately, it was because it had been scared by some hunting dogs which were out chasing wild boar with their owners. 

Here's a video from my new camera trap of one of the boar that has, so far, evaded the hunters. Let's hope he/she stays safe for a while to come.
