I have had some messages asking me why the feeds have been down. Well in a nutshell i have had a few problems with the pc that takes the video feed. It keeps crashing, so i am investigating the problem. I may have to do a rebuild of the machine.
I apologise to those that have missed the Hogs.

Yesterday I decided to re-site all of the cameras, feeding areas and hog box. The reason for this is that the hog box and the feed area had become an animal walkway to the garden. To this affect the hogs stopped staying in the box and start feeding less frequently. 

On the first night of relocation the hogs were straight to the new feed area and the hog box had a tenant. The fox also visited although at this point the fox feed was just placed in the middle of the garden. 

I have changed the design of the hog feeding area; this seems to have stopped the cats walking through and the fox eating the hog food. I’m sure the birds will still have a good go. 

I will follow up soon with some pictures.
