I don't often see wild boar near the water during the day. So very pleased to capture this tonight.

iso 800 1/200 sec. f/4

Also made a short video.

Great shot, Edwin. He's very well camouflaged in this habitat. Was this taken from a hide?
Nice to see his behaviour on video too. I really enjoyed it.

ISO 800, by accident surely? ;) Weather looks crap though.

Would love to get one near water, something to aim for. Shot with the tufts of grass behind him this works rather well.

This is an amazing shot, Edwin, but it is a shame the light was so poor. Is it possible to boost the contrast to give it a little more bite?

Hi Edwin,

Had to do a double take there, I thought it was Andy Astbury in his Camo Gear for a minute :wink:

Love the picture now I've put my glasses on :toast: :toast:

Best Regards,
