I think they are building numbers up for releases but from what I can vaguely remember the plan has just stalled ? Something to do with the people in Scotland ?? Also I don’t think they can import any fresh bloodline in from Europe due to us leaving the eu so much red tape ? it was interesting there they had 2 sites one near the farm/water vole breeding centre they had couple wild boar there one with a litter, primitive horses ,sika in a penned field and 3 neutered rescued lynx . up the road was the glamping site with another parcel of land that had 3 ? bison , primitive sheep , exmoor ponies , Tamworth x boar pigs , beavers in pond ,and near the huts some storks in aviary , and the wild cat pens. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds an interesting place, only seen wildcats in zoo's,I don't know why they can't just import breeding stock, but as you say Brexit means no FOM for EU nationals like Eastern-Europeans (including wildcats). 2 Link to post Share on other sites
