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.

Hi @MichaelBedingfield, Yes I think so but I do not seem to have approval as moderator in that location.
