If I was a photographer who specialised in wildlife this photograph would end up on the discard pile. But, I don't specialise, and usually take photographs of wildlife on a walk where the goal is exercise and photographing absolutely anything that takes my fancy. Consequently I was quite thrilled to be able to photograph this female wild boar with three youngsters, the first time I have seen the animals since we moved to the area. If the shot has any virtue it is that it replicates how people typically see wild boars - at a distance and among trees where they are momentarily glimpsed rather than clearly seen.
