Not being funny I am genuinely interested in this particular topic! Only one thing I really don't understand is the poor quality of the images of these big cats, I could name at least a dozen lads of whom Fuji is one that posts pics of outstanding clarity and quality! As I said it is a genuine question! I can compare these big cat pics to those on Crimewatch where you honestly think why on earth did the person install such a crap monitoring system when the intruders caught on screen could be anyone? I don't doubt you for a second Greyman but am I right in saying you are now saying the quality of your picture is a bit iffy? As I said this is a genuine question! ATB

sadly mate the cats are nocturnal and trailcams loose quality during the dark when on infa red mode and only record in black and white, I think I said earlier about the man that makes the trail cams for animal planet and they cost five grand a pop plus the cost of a dslr camera, they work on four infa red sensors set in a square which triggers the cameras to start filming and lights up the area with ir light I,m afraid my gear is more lidle than Harrods hence the less than satisfactory footage sorry

The Cougar is nocturnal and crepuscular and will hunt during the daytime.

Fascinating stuff DM

Was your stalking cat up a hedgerow filmed at night greyman or daytime .

I don't understand why they call them nocturnal when they hunt a plenty during the daytime, that goes for Cougars, Leopards, Jaguars, Lions, Tigers, silly really.

Anyone else ever seen wild wallabies in the UK? There was a small colony of them in Derbyshire (I think) that had escaped from a zoo. I saw them as a kid with Scouts.

 

If that can happen I wouldn't be surprised the same thing could have happened with big cats.

There is film footage from the 1920,s and 1930,s of various different big cats and guess what? you can tell that they are big cats even with primative cameras. You can even tell what species they are and the sex of them. Today's cameras are plenty good to catch them clearly and to complain that people say all the footage is murky is making excuses because it is murky that's no great conspiracy and to say its great footage and most likely a leopard is misleading people when it could be described as anything from a dog to a Bull and a lot in between. There was a big cat scare in my town about 10 year ago. Several people seen it and were convinced in their own minds it was a black panther until they were told a Great Dane had escaped from a local mans yard and they completely changed their stories and said yes it was the dog. It got a write up in local paper and everyone involved had a great laugh about it. Trying to big up poor cases only worsens the possible genuine ones.

Greyman,you can still get gin clear trail-cam footage at night from a bog standard common or garden £150 trail-cam,you don't need an all singing all dancing bells and whistles bespoke model,gordon buchanan the wildlife photographer used readily available off the shelf jobbies when he filmed tiger,sloth bear and he might have even captured leopard on film,it was for a BBC? production seeking out high altitude wildlife in Bhutan,if its there whatever your seeking you can certainly get proof positive on an aldi or lidle cam.

Theres some great footage of youtube showing wallabies all over the UK,crystal clear film leaving no boudt whatsoever they live,survive maybe even thrive in the UK,sadly no such irrefutable evidence of cats,any grainy long distance or shaky footage/pics is always a little ambiguous.

Was your stalking cat up a hedgerow filmed at night greyman or daytime .

sadly not filmed at all mate, that one I just saw when out in my motor and was another little thing that made me start looking for more solid evidence,it was not even in the area I,m looking in, I was staying in a little cottage in Dorset for a week it was in the daylight, I did go back to the spot with my dogs a while later, and yes I take my dogs with me when I go out, my sole purpose in life is not just looking for big cats, my back and legs are a little bit knackered through some form of nerve damage so walking is good for me to stop me seizing up, I still work three days it's the minimum I can live on and I walk the valley and surrounding woodland for the other two and maybe a Sunday as well if I,m not hungover, not aimed at you dude but to al the movie critics the footage I have is just what I need to confirm to me that what I am looking for is present in the area I,m looking, I have had to start moving the cameras to more remote areas as I would like a daytime shot but I think in a small overcrowded island like ours that's not going to be easy it's not my fault the only one I caught on camera is at night, also Buchanan is not having to try and hide his cameras from people does not have to worry about light interference from roads or houses and is often filming animals in environments were they have never seen people and have no fear of them or there smell, and finally regarding the quality of trail cams I have seven ranging from a browning strike force down to a £50 know name Chinese model and the quality difference between them is vast but much more so at night , I also don't have the advantage of an editing sweet or a library full of stock film that I can cut in and out of at will,tv programmes never show you the raw uncut unedited footage it's not an excuse it's the way it is,

[byron 1,185]

well ,,I don't know about others sighting's. and I allways believed about hounds not being amongst one,and thought a load of bollocks etc..but,like iv'e said before on here, i have seen two ,with witnesses.so what did we see?? roe/muntjac..I can see these everyday without fail,, both sighting's being [ran straight across in front of us].one whilst driving [dalby hill Lincolnshire] and other on foot..not five hundred yards from were I live..so the argument rages eh..i know what iv'e seen and I'm not bothered about others views..

thanks..

[mackem 26,952]

Buchanan was using bog standard i think it was bushnells,i have used chinese bottom of the barrel acorns,still got decent footage of fox at night,clear enough to know the animals were fox beyond a shadow of a doubt,raw uncut unedited footage is still clear,edits dont enhance the footage,you can tweak it a little but when he was viewing the tigers it was on the viewing screen on the camera itself,no edits whatsoever,he viewed it in the field them put the camera chip in his laptop,he didnt add stock film,that would have defeated the purpose.

[mackem 26,952]

This is the sort of proof positive that's irrefutable,we now know wallabies survive in the UK,footage taken I presume on a phone camera.

Wee bugger wasn't shy eh lol
