I've just gone out and marked another 2 hogs. They were huffing and puffing and doing hte dance. I've no idea which was the male or the female but one was almost twice the size of the other.

Lovely to see joomoo. I still have good numbers coming in. Putting out 8 dishes of food and all gets ate. Have noticed at least 2-3 with no marks. But that's when I am all tucked up.

I am delighted to see that people are getting good numbers of hogs visiting but it does rather beg the question "are they really threatened or is it because they're nightshift workers we've no real idea how many there are"?

I wouldn't have even hazarded a guess that I'd have 10 different hogs if I wasn't spotting them with paint and watching them on camera. I can't believe it myself and I can see it with my own eyes. I have 4 hogitats in my garden and none seem to be occupied. Apart from one patch of what seems to be an un-owned patch of land, I'm on an estate.

I spotted another new one. That makes 11.
I did wonder if I was re-marking ones that I'd seen before, but I saw 'Arry and he was the first to be marked, so that's a no. His paint was a bit faded, but clear enough.

I wondered why my feeder was a bit askew.

Doh
Should work now. I thought I'd set my settings to not be private.
