A word of Caution for you late night ramblers around the Red Cross Roundabout

Hi All 

Feliez Año to everyone. 

I just wanted to post that there has been a sighting of Wild boar on the roads around the area just up the roads from the Red Cross roundabout.

My brother in law was having difficulty sleeping and decided that a short stroll might help. At around 11:30 PM, as he was leaving his gaff, he saw a number of dark shapes on the paths and road outside of his gates. As he got closer he saw around 8 to 10 adult wild boar  and possibbly the same amount of pigglets.

He tells me that some of these animals were quite large  

Although they appear shy, they are still wild animals and are unpredictable in behaviour which could pose a risk to public safety. Like many other wild animals, wild boars will only attack if they are cornered or if they feel threatened. Female wild boars are very protective of their young and can easily be provoked.

With this in mind he deciced NOT to go walking out that night. He did howeever have the presence of mind of calling the local police, who promptly arrived and after some explanation they departed in the direction he told them the boar had gone in. 

So for all you part taking in some late night revelries or you night walkers please excercise care on your way home in the dark.
