Wild boar again
It's going great with the wild boar. After feeding for two weeks they totaly accept me and they are not bothered by the sound of the shutter anymore. I guess I won't be needing a hide by next week. It's always fun to spend some time with these creatures this close.

iso 200 1/60 sec. F5.6 full frame

Short legs , hairy mush,beer belly, chubby cheaks . Erm Sorry I'm thinking of someone else there .I digress . Not as strong as the previous two pics . But the expression is wonderful .Beautifully captured all the same.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing - if the cap fits...!!! :eek: :eek: :biggrin:

Echo Marks comments Ed, not so strong an image as the previous couple but its one heck of a milestone in your progress with these Boar, and it's still a cracking capture - they do look good in those Bilberries matey :wavey: :wavey:

And Mark - card marked :wink: :wink:

Nice to see a different species Edwin.

Looking froward to more of these.

Wow way to go Ed, a cracking set of images so far. Wild boar don't like me they charge me and try to bite me maybe my English scent.

A great shot by any standards but doesn't have quite the punch of your earlier image.
