Haven't seen it myself but I'm down in Salisbury so not exactly on your doorstep. That said the big cat reports around the Welsh borders and Shropshire have been pretty consistent for years haven't they? There's something going on up there.
What did it look like - are we talking proper black, like a melanistic leopard type, or more of a very dark grey? The colour detail tends to narrow things down a bit. Also how big roughly, like compared to a dog or a fence post or something you can actually picture.
I mainly follow poltergeist and crop circle stuff but I do keep an eye on big cat reports because the evidence trail is actually stronger than most people realise. Paw prints, livestock kills, the occasional decent photo. Would be curious to know if anyone local got a closer look or has seen anything in teh same area recently.
