Welcome to the Big Cats In Britain Wildlife Trigger Camera Blog

Welcome to the Big Cats In Britain Wildlife Trigger Camera Blog

The Big Cats in Britain organisation, (BCIB), predominately searches for evidence of native and non native feline species living in the British Countryside. Part of our research includes the use of wildlife trigger cameras, also known as stealth cams or trail cams . These operate using infra-red technology to take pictures of any animal that passes the camera.

Our members have dozens of these cameras in various locations around the British Isles, operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This blog is dedicated to showing the general public, the animals we have captured on camera. These images are small snapshots of the diversity of animal life that can be found in our countryside.

We hope you enjoy them.......................

The big mouthed Fox and the Muntjac From Surrey

Gary Ridley the BCIB Rep in deepest darkest Surrey sent in these images.

I'll let him explain his set-up.

"These are the latest shots from my new camera trap. (following the theft of my other one.) It’s positioned on a game trail cross roads. It’s secured to the tree in a Cuddesafe bear proof anti-theft box. Hopefully I might get a shot of the Lynx that has been seen in this area.

Buzzards and a Hooded Crow

At the new location in Kintyre, I have two Cuddeback cameras at either end of a grass path through a newly planted wood. The trees are about 4-5 foot high. This location was chosen because some large scat was found here in the past which was very cat like. It has been baited with fresh rabbit, (taken by pest control from the local golf courses), with the hope the cat will return.

Well, the rabbit was stripped bare within days leaving nothing but fur and a couple of leg bones. The culprit was not a big cat unfortunately, but a crow, a hooded crow, and two buzzards.

Daytime Shots of a Fox and Wood Pigeon

Most of my images of foxes from Kintyre are usually night shots. But for a change, I managed to get a day time shot of a fox. And just to keep it company I've added a one of a wood pigeon as well

With me being away for a week or so, I'm are slightly behind with the postings on this blog. I have a number of images to put up, and I'll try to do so over the next few days.

Badger, Fox and Roe Deer

Here are the latest batch of images from the same location as the unidentified large cat in Argyll. Along with tens of pictures of a fox, there was also one of the badger, that likes to make an appearance every now and then, (and I still can't find out where it is coming from as there is no sign of a badger sett anywhere nearby). Also a nice close up picture of a roe deer doe, and a blurry roe deer buck on the run

Fox photo strip and a hungry badger

After baiting an area in a forest in the south of Kintyre, this fox appeared and gobbled up all the bait. While a poor badger arrived too late to grab an easy meal. These images were captured using a Cuddeback Trail Cam
