Report sightings
Scottish wildcats are elusive creatures and difficult to research so any sightings provide valuable information about their current distribution. Although prolonged encounters with wildcats are rare, if you do see what you think is a wildcat, please make a note of the following:
- Location
- Date and time of day
- Type of habitat
- What the cat was doing.
- Any additional circumstances surrounding the sighting.
- And of course, a photograph would be brilliant – even from a mobile phone.
