The autumn pannage season has started in the New Forest in Hampshire - Forest commoners are allowed by ancient right to turn out their pigs in to the 900 year old woods.

The lucky pigs eat up the acorns that could be harmful to the famous ponies, and fatten themselves up for the Christmas market.

This Saddleback cross Tamworth sow is out in the forest with her 5 piglets and some curious ponies.
