So nice to see these forest pigs roaming around freely. What a joy they have, especially when it has rained 😄

Muddy pigs in a muddy pool. How nice to encounter during the clog path route.

I've just arrived at the Zuylestein Estate when there's a grunt among the trees. When I look I see two large pigs wandering around. I read something on the estate's website about their bush pigs and this must be them. Like living harvesters, they combat blackberry bushes and other plant species. They get acorns, beechnuts, carrots and sprouted fruit and vegetables from our vegetable garden every day. Later I find out that the meat from the bush pigs is sold at the estate's vegetable garden.

The forest pigs walk in a different place on the estate. The piece of forest near the vegetable garden was destroyed by the downwind in 2021 (unfortunately a pig died) but is now being replanted according to the design of the original 18th century star forest.
