Scottish Wildcat

Named "Callie" by the Saving Wildcats project, she is one of many Scottish Wildcats bred and released into the Cairngorms National Park.

 

She was initially tracked and has had successful litters since her release. She now frequents the Glenmore area, including the Reindeer Centre where she hunts the ducks that steal the reindeer feed - which is where I saw her.

 

It really was quite something to witness this up close and such a great project restoring the presence of these cats in the Scottish Highlands.
