This year has been a bit quiet on the cub front but have had one black one seen with two Cubs within the m25 circle also had a quite convincing video of a baby lynx caught on a dash cam in Gloucestershire a couple of months back, I normally hear of 2/3 family groups seen each year, so could be worth a tenner, probably more likely than England winning a major football tournament 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of my friends shot a deer with a pinned leg and another shot five foxes in the same field that looked quite suspicious as he is mad keen on lamping so wouldn’t expect to see that number on his land one of them had been shaved and stitched. Seems crazy to spend all that money and resources and then just turf them out to get shot that night. Strangely enough that area has also been an Otter stronghold for at least fifteen years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
