It's been a ten year quest and a couple are now celebrating after claiming to have proof of a predator in the Westcountry. The images were taken in the Cotswolds on a trail camera by Andy Rule, 53, and his wife Claire, 50.
They set up trail cameras in woodland near Nympsfield in Gloucestershire years ago in the hope of snapping a beast. And their work has now paid off, they say - as their cameras picked up images of a cat in the wild.
Andy, a former carer from Stroud, said: "We've had three cameras over half a mile that have picked up glimpses, in that area. What I believe [the cat] doing is sniffing the ground.
