Wild boar in Paraheka bush

Glen from Central Whangarei

I spoke with council today about spotting a wild boar in my front yard on Riverside drive.

My Address is on Riverside Drive near the marina, the wild boar was in my front yard it ran into bush behind Riverside Drive I have had a look at a satellite image, the bush goes right through to Whangarei Falls.

I am attaching a photo which is identical to what I saw and chased with the mobility scooter. I have a 35kg dog.

To explain the size of the wild boar it was a bit shorter than my dog but stocker I would estimate is to be between 35 - 40 kg.

When I went after it I was thinking domestic pig, not wild boar so I will not chase any more.

100% this was a wild boar, about the size in the photo, and living in Paraheka bush

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
