Taken on a wonderful study tour arranged by the French Department of Forests, in 1978. If only I could repeat it with today,s gear!
Not a good scan - but its the thought that counts. ! :wink:

Had he been rolling in something John - looks a touch orange/brown in his fur?

You'll have to go back!!

that's a nice one John. There's a fair few of these around the UK now so you probably wouldn't need a trip to France!

Looks as if he has had a touch too much of the vino John. He appears to have a bit of a lean on.

Hi John,

Great shot! Like the environment and setting as it frames the Boar nicely!
