We normally get hogs in the back garden at night but today at lunch time there was one rambling across the open green at the front of the house.

Anyone trying to attract them into their back garden make sure to scope a little hole at the side gate. Am also thinking of building a hog box as I am sure the cats are eating most/all of what I leave out. I was putting meal worms out which I dont think cats eat but it was costing a fortune.
