My partner got out the truck and startled it,it ran off like a bullet,it was larger than a german shepherd with a tail about 3ft long..Wow what a sight,very unnerving though!! Police have been informed and there has been 4 other sightings in the this area in the last week..The police wildlife officer is coming to see us..We have been baffled why we havent seen much wildlife lately and friends of ours have found mutilated lambs in their field!!!

The creature was just in the light from the back of Novartis next to Tioxide.I was about 30 metres away max, and then it disappeared in the ditch/ dyke at the bottom of the bank. I know what I saw and I didn't hang about for another look. Unfortunately ( or maybe not) I haven't seen it again and I don't really want to. The only people who believe me are the ones who have seen what I've seen.Sorry I can't be of any more help.

The animal had clearly been disturbed by my arrival and at first I believed it to be a black labrador/retriever-type dog. But as I watched it move, I was less sure as it moved like a cat rather than a dog. I did watch my back afterwards until I had completed my survey but I had no other sightings. There were lots of paw prints in the snow at several places in the quarry but I am a gelogist and not a zoologist! I will go back and have another look armed with camera.

I know you're not keen on it, for understandable reasons, but it's pretty exciting - I wish I'd had a similar experience. Kind regards, Rod Barbara,
