British Big Cat Researchers

Our gratitude goes to Nigel Brierly for donating a brand new trail master and camera to the BCIB group. These cameras are left out in prime locations in a bid to catch on camera whatever is lurking out there. We have not been fortunate yet as a group to take a photograph of a 'big cat' yet but watch this space!
Nigel donated recent sales of his book They Stalk by Night' in order to buy the group a new camera, and for that we are very grateful.

A special thank you goes to Di Francis for not only donating all her news clippings but also a stuffed Kellas Cat (one of only three in existence) for the BCIB research centre.

We also extend our gratitude to Charlie McGuinness who with his donation the group purchased a hide which was featured on the BBC series Animals 24:7 in September 2006

John Finch for keeping me on the right track!

Mick Jackson for all his pictures, Kent information, video footage and a stack of casts made in the Kent countryside

Thanks also go to the following for donating books at the 2007 conference: Di Francis, Merrily Harpur, Mark Fraser, Chris Moiser and Nigel Brierly & Terry Dye for his cameras


Running the group is not easy and we are grateful for any help we can get, preferably in equipment and not money. If you have anything you would be willing to donate please email Mark Fraser HERE
You never know your help may just assist us in capturing that long sought for image

He is fear, O little hunter, he is fear!

I do ask that you take the trouble to report your sighting, even if you have reported it to others in the past.
