Hi @waltraud, since the 1970s, the horse rider group was always claimed to be less respectful of rules and more combative than other users such as mountain bike riders and, back in the day, even trail bike riders. But that has nothing to do with your wish to get the ACT Government to achieve a higher level of control over horse riding than what prevails now. It seems to me this is practically no different than if you used Nature Mapper to record fence cutting, trail bike riding, or people illegally taking firewood or rocks. (And I cant imagine why this use of Nature mapper is more preferable than a phone call or text or email.) Should you instead deliver horse droppings to the door of the Legislative Assembly, in the presence of the local media, while wearing a costume of a locally threatened species?

Blackbirds (Turdus merula) do much the same digging in my garden. Galahs and cockatoos usually work in groups so dig wider areas in nature reserves.

Hi @teeniiee, Sorry I can't verify this as pig on current evidence.
Remember that what I see (one or more small photos) is much different than what you experience. You can look at it in much better detail from different angles and tell with accuracy how deep it is etc, none of which is possible from these photos. From where I sit, it looks more like something a bird could produce, not the usual pig ripping which is typically quite a lot deeper and stronger. This looks like it could be cockatoo digging, or light scratching by other birds, or by humans.
