Pigs on the wing

It's pannage time again out in the forest as families of pigs grub about the stands hoovering up the acorns; an essential job as the acorns are not good for the ponies and a real pleasure to see. You usually see them, as I say, grubbing amongst the stands, but today they were out in the open on Spy Holms, sharing the land with the forest cattle and ponies. Although beware, the young pigs can be cute, though their mothers not so, as you'll discover if they take a dislike to you. Still, their presence certainly adds to the forest and it's nice to see such traditions endure.
