And this little piggy… The Kymin borders one of the few areas in the UK now home to one of our most elusive large animals – the wild boar in the Forest of Dean. Wild boar were once a common and native species to Britain, but were hunted to extinction by the 13th century. They were subsequently re-introduced but again became extinct by the 17th century. The piglets and sows that we see today are the first in around 300-years to roam Britain as freely as their native ancestors did. Wild boars don’t seek human company and can be difficult to catch sight of. But they have been known to appear at The Kymin, so with luck and patience on your side, you may just get a glimpse of these elusive creatures. But please be careful, as they can become dangerous if they feel threatened. Nocturnal nature Pipistrelle and soprano bats have both made The Kymin their home. Pipistrelles are the UK’s smallest and most common bats, and can eat up to 3,000 insects in one night. The Kymin’s woods provide the perfect habitat for owls, especially Tawny owls. Take a walk at dusk to hear their distinctive ‘twit-twoo’ and high-pitched screeching. Badgers are another night-time woodland-dwelling animal found at The Kymin. These elusive and shy mammals are wonderful to watch if you’re lucky enough to catch them playing on a quiet, summer evening.
