They are the bollox Walt had one years back, there is a company that imports them from abroad no a few people who have them half a million miles and they are just run in, problem is as modern stuff gets more shite and chuck away after 5 years the old gems are increasing in value, one lad I know gave 7500k for one last year
-
Done that one mate believed to be a large domestic breed like a Bengal or savannah cat and looks suspiciously like it’s wearing a collar,, the truth is stranger than fiction

I,m on the verge of buying one myself for when I finally get moving, once I,m were I’m going and settled will be converting that one into a camper, not really into modern stuff and a big old lorry lined in tongue and groove with a woodburner and a bed would do me though will probably need to add things like a shower and toilet if I,m ever going to get my misses on board, leyland daf with the electric tail lift from the PO are a good cheap reliable bus from my research or the ultimate in my mind the oldD series merc with the back to front gearbox, absolutely bomb proof and always sought after ✌

Another couple of episodes have been added ??
-
They are not scared of people because they are hand reared, the few really wild otters I have encountered vanish the moment you spot them, the releases are usually in a group (not natural) and not shy of human contact to the same degree, if you ever travel into Bristol down the m32 they are swimming about in the river frome that disappears under ikea just turned up there a few year back they even swim out into the harbour in the city centre ?

FairPlay mush good on you ???
-
It’s just a land drain near me, don’t even know if it has a name, runs alongside a main road and I find dead otters on there every few years have pushed a few live ones out the reeds as well, but when I,ve seen the ea doing electro fishing surveys they say it is totally devoid of fish life ?? It would be very hard for them to get there through natural means as it drains a small valley that is surrounded by main roads and motorways and goes out to sea through a town ??? I,ve also found quite a few dead ones in the G and S canal which is a shipping canal with metal sheeting along the banks which

Go to an auction that sells commercial vehicles and buy an ex British rail high top transit or simular as they are already part fitted out, they are used as a mobile site hut with a small kitchen and table plus bench,s already fitted, they are high enough to stand up in without having the wind resistance of a wall like a Luton does and may already contain a water tank and 12 v electric system ??

Hughies only a baby, he,ll dust himself off and come again and again and again , think peter wants it more than hughie, ??

Just received an email to say I will be on episode 9 with a lad named Matt, who is the lad that works in tv and made the documentary after he saw one
-
That is a growing problem with the new wave of designer cats, it’s either a Bengal or a savannah cat, most of these sightings are quite easily explained ??
-
Should be a new episode every two weeks, as long as more people come forward with there story,s etc there are a few more recorded then it’s reliant on new reports and story’s, , as I,ve mentioned before it’s all done at our own expense in our spare time so there are no guarantees but that’s the plan, the pm,s will all be answered but I’m getting a bit swamped and I’m slow as feck so bear with me ??
-
That’s a big jump mate no point running, stand tall face your foe and back away is what the experts say, but who really knows how they would act until it happens
-
If you live in an area that has been visited by a cat on its travels it will eventually come through again so more than one family member seeing them is not uncommon, I,ve also met most of these people and seen the impact it has had on there lives, the lad in the camper van often drives up to Cirencester to our meetings and collects reports in his area he is in no doubt what he saw which is why he spends so much time trying to find it again, it’s like a disease mate, I always just accepted they were out there as so many of my mates had seen them in the 80s90s but it still took some time for th

Sleeping both times, killed one as I felt the bite but second one was not even aware until it started swelling ??
-
Was just about to suggest anti hysamene to you, the reddening on my mates arm was clearly visible and travelled from the bite site on the back of his hand up to his elbow over a few days, before he went to docs so as you say keep an eye on if it’s any consolation that’s my second one and never been anything more than annoying ATB ?
-
Feck me I’ve never asked them for ID ????
-
If anyone is on any other kind of countryside/wildlife/ fishing forums would you be kind enough to add a link to the podcast as it’s a good way for us to build up our database and gives people that have seen something but don’t want the ridicule a chance to speak up, thanks ??
-
This is 3weeks old done me when I was sleeping, was weeping for over a week, if the reddening starts spreading as Arry said get yourself along to hospital a mate of mine had blood poisoning from one didn’t even no he had been bitten ended up in hospital in quite a bad way ???
-
It’s a fake zoom right in on it there are straight lines were the back legs meet the grass and there is a post behind the back legs that the toy leopard is possibly strapped to so in conclusion either a photoshop or a toy ? as I,ve said I,m not desperate or interested in falsifying evidence and people that do are just another thing we have to deal with ??
-
They have been doing it for years mate without any consultation and even outright lying to deny what they have been up to so any request they grant you would probably be a load of bullshit anyways ??? when they were releasing otters all over the Somerset levels at the end of the 90s early 00s the impact on fisheries was immense but rather than consultation and debate they chose to go on national tv and deny that any otters had been released even after a fisheries owner had a dead one scanned and found a chip in its neck from rspca west hatch Taunton, and within the last 5 years the polecat

You will have to ask scothunter I believe that’s his bag ?
-
Wait till you hear me, I carried on driving when I first saw one saw it as clear as day but you get some kind of brain freeze, a girl I know saw a bloke jump from the bridge near my house the other day, said she watched him tumbling through the air but her brain refused to register what her eyes were telling her, I think something simular happens, I no several professional photographers that have seen them one had a camera round his neck and still never took a picture, that’s why it will be cctv,trailcam or drone that gets the ultimate footage I think ?
-
My internet is going mental at the moment mate don’t know why has been since 2am ??my inbox was also full just made some space mate ?
-
Sometimes mate you have to just accept that everyone is not like you, and there are a lot of shades of grey between black and white, I meet a lot of very different people lots of who think I might be a bit strange and a bit different, but it does not instantly mean I,m lying, I have met a lot of these people and saw some of there photos and in many cases the one encounter they have had has changed there lives and sent them on a mission to see more it’s why we do it, I never thought for one minute I would spend all my time chasing round the English countryside looking for signs of big cats, b
