Not a sight I'd expected to see, pigs in pannage; the pannage season this year (2011) ended on the 26th of November. Strange that they're still about. A sow and her 11, good sized, piglets were hungrily rooting through the litter close to Highland Water above Milliford Bridge. The sow was protective and approached us noisily as we passed, the piglets had no such concerns and happily sniffed at my boots and weren't bothered by Norris, who to advantage of the situation to brave a close inspection.Saturday, 7 January 2012

I saw something about commoners requesting an extension for the pannage season, although no confirmation that it was going to happen. Maybe another indicator of the changing climate?
