New Member, New Location, New Camera, New Images

Sharon Ramsden is one our newest members, and she joins Rik Snook in covering Kent and the South East.

She has placed the trail camera in a private wood in Kent near a field of sheep. Over the last few years something has been killing the sheep and they have never found out what is killing them. Back in 2008 there were two sightings of a big cat in a village 2 miles away. There was a unreported sighting about the same time of a big cat on farmland the other end of the village in which Sharon lives.

Sharon is also using a new brand of trail camera in the BCIB Trigger Camera Network It is a G&L M100. As you can see, the images are very clear.

So far Sharon has managed to get some nice shots of grey squirrels and foxes. Fingers crossed she finds out what has been attacking the sheep.

More Red Fox pictures from Kent.

Rick Snook (BCIB Kent and Essex) is still waiting for a secure location in Kent or Essex where he can put up his cameras. There are a couple of possible locations he is considering, but until then here are some more pictures of Red foxes from his friends garden.

If anyone in Kent or Essex are interested in having a camera put on their land, please contact Rik directly.

Rik has two websites Big Cats In Kent and Big Cats in Essex, where contact details can be found.

Kentish Vixen and Cubs

Rik Snook, the BCIB member from Kent, has this week purchased his first couple of cameras. He bought two WildView Xtreme 5.0MP Digital Scouting Cameras.

As a test before deploying them in the field, he set them up on his friends property. His friends often put out food for foxes, badgers and other wildlife, and Rik managed to get 76 images in his first night of these foxes. Once Rik is happy with the set up on the cameras he will be placing them in an undisclosed location in Kent that has had several Big Cat sightings in the past.



These are just a few of those images Rik got on his first night.
