Wild boar piglets in bed

“The piglets of two wild boar sows, totalling at least 14, awake to a sunny morning in the depths of the Forest of Dean.

It’s a place I visit about once a week, but in the early spring, when young boar are likely to be around, I visited the area more often.

I stumbled across this group in a fairly open part of the forest early in the morning, just sleeping between the bases of two trees.

They were gone in a few seconds.”
