Permimeter Defences – Coypu – Badger and Wild Boar

The first of the shagging toads have arrived in the pond. The start of the annual toad migration. There is an electric fence between the river and the pond to stop the coypu getting in.

One of the little buggers tried last night and disturbed the fence.

They are after the baby lotuses and irises.

Previously the wife blocked the badger hole in the fence.

They built a small set in our garden..

This is where the wild boars first got in…

This is the repair of the second place they broke the fence. I am due to do more fence repair this afternoon.

This is Gandalf the grey and white stray cat now a.k.a. Kidney because she leaves regular mouse kidneys and entrails for us as presents.

Yes really, wild boars…

Last night and the night before we have been visited by one or more wild boars. They are a bit of a pest around here. They have made a mess in two large patches of the lawn which will cost hundreds to repair. There is nothing that I can do about it now being incapacitated. The wildlife has already been more present in the garden as I/we have been spending less time there due to the arthritis. They are reclaiming it.

We have called the local Mairie and members of the “hunt” are due to visit during the day. It is one of those things which you do not need, wild boars messing up the lawn. Hopefully the hunt geezers will have some suggestions. I cannot shift our heavy gate at the moment. Maybe there is some other way of scaring them off. Maybe piggie is still on the premises.

Something needs done in case the little buggers come back tonight…

If they manage to get it, it could add to the Christmas festivities…
