A stunned resident of a Nottinghamshire town has described seeing two "large, cat-like animals" in his garden after he woke up to distressed clucking sounds from his two chickens. Adam Archer, 60, said he peered out of his downstairs window to see a large animal standing over the body of his chicken, with another animal staring back at him with a mysterious pair of eyes.
Lincolnshire Live reports that Mr Archer, who lives in Misterton in North Nottinghamshire and owns an engineering business in Gainsborough, said the sighting took place one morning at 3am between Tuesday, July 5 to Thursday, July 7. Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust has said there has been a number of 'big cat' sightings in the country, but there is little to no firm evidence.
Mr Archer said: "I heard a lot of distressed and furious clucking and there's normally no sounds from the chickens at all in the night, that in itself is unusual. It was noisy enough to wake me up, I got out of bed and went to a downstairs window overlooking the chicken run.
