Wild boar in Common broom
The same male. He's quite used to me now. I can't leave the hide yet because that will scare him off. It's just a matter of time. Today I gave him the name 'Sjakie' We are friends now :biggrin:
I'm not sure what's wrong with his right eye.

iso 200 1/60 sec. F5.6

"The same mail" You post him around the place? (sorry for the sarcasm) :wink:

Good image, i like the tufty hair cut :smile: Your greens seem very yellow to me? Nice portrait show none the less.

Love this Ed - great series and he's clearly quite enamoured with you now!!

What plant are you going to get him to stand by next?!

Does Sjakie have any significance as a name that we Brits might not get?

Certainly wouldn't want this fellow to turn up in my mail - the postman would have a fit!! :smile: :biggrin:

You got him to smile nicely Ed, no doubt you are good mates now. Your perseverance and study of this lovely animal is to be admired, as are all the images so far.
