Happy times Bob.

This is pig-time big time. I wonder are there eagles around capable of moving this fodder up the food chain?

Happy 2009,

The feast has commenced

Is that a buzzard on the table now? It's a little more than twice the size of the raven that appears on the ground now & again ...

As the light improves it looks like a golden eagle & the bait is well secured ...

On take-off he looked a bit small for a golden eagle but also a bit larger than a common buzzard ...

Buzzard just landed.

There may have been an eagle on the table before the buzzard yesterday but I'm not at all sure. After the first bird flew off the second bird was a common buzzard, verified when the camcorder zoomed towards the table for an hour or so. During that time there was a delivery of fodder in chunks pellets and seed. The buzzard returned 5 minutes afterwards by which time the cam had been zoomed out to the usual distance. Wild boar are putting up weight.

There's a small deer helping itself right now (along with the dog-racoons)

Brendan,

If you miss an of the excitement ( I am not sure if that is the right word as there are long periods of nothing) you can always go to the forum where people put screen captures from the camera

The wild boar now have some hi-tech equipment, an automatic feeder although it reminds me of a steam train

That's a relief Bob, thank you.
I was afraid the pigs would be obliged to stick their heads in the oven & turn on the gas.
