Finally

Last weekend I visited my friend Jean-Marie who lives in the Lorraine (France).

His specialty is the European wild cat. You can see he knows his area just by listening to him talk. \"Là dans ce secteur il y du chat. C'est un male qui se trouve souvent dans le fossé dans ce champ\". He knows the whereabouts of at least five cats...

Together with Pieter-Jan and Frans we set out to track this wild cat. Yet it seemed very shy and always ran off. We saw it six times in three days but only on the last day we found him amongst the cows and were able to track him down.

Finally a picture of a wild cat...

Now the time has come to try and make a good picture of this pussy. Which we will be trying in the next weeks.

 

We started the weekend by looking for red deer at night. I experimented a little bit with long exposures on the stag...

There he was!
