Dozing in the morning sun: pigs, Northycote Farm

Dozing in the morning sun: pig, Northycote Farm

A sunny autumn morning, a perfect time to stretch out and doze. Pigs at Northycote Farm. The ones on bare earth were young pigs, perhaps this year’s piglets, now well grown. The one on grass was mature, one of two in a different enclosure (its companion was resting up with the fence to close for a clear picture).
