Wild Boar (Sus Scrofa)
A creature of myth and magic, the Wild Boar has been revered across the Isles for thousands of years. Honoured for its strength and courage, the boar (Eofor) features on many ancient heraldic crests.
In the Isles, Wild Boar are closely associated with the ‘otherworld’; linked with folk idols as Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Culhwch & Olwen, and Odin, the creature was a precious totem for those of a warrior or hunter persuasion.
Amongst wise folk, the tusks of the boar were coveted as greatly powerful in keeping away malignant forces as well as an aid for women during child birth, their bristles would be boiled with fresh water in copper cauldrons to conjure rain and storms, and it’s flesh would be ritually consumed to impart valour and victory when going into battle.

CROW, ROOK or RAVEN?
These three large corvidae birds are extremely similar in their appearance, especially from afar, so here are a few ways to tell the difference:
CROW
• Smaller solid black beak with slight bill feathering
• Tends to roam in large groups (murders)
• Smooth plumage, particularly around head and throat
• Tail feathers even in length, forming a fan shape
ROOK
• Large pale, straight beak with no feathering
• Roams and lives in large rookeries
• Long wings that narrow towards the body
• Feathery trousers
RAVEN
• Large, rounded black beak with distinct bill feathers
• Seen alone or with their mate only
• Shaggy plumage around the head, throat and breast
• Long, diamond shaped tail
