PEACE FOR THE KITTENS AND A HAPPY EASTER
Hi All
It is the most important time of the year for the Scottish Wildcat. Females will be heavily pregnant and the first kittens may have already been born from matings in January. It is of course vital that no disturbance takes place to jeopardise these priceless animals. We have been monitoring the Clashindarroch very closely this week and are very happy to report that all is quiet.
There is no windfarm being built. There is no logging taking place. This means that across a vast tract of habitat, the wildcats currently have the peace they deserve. We take that as a very big win and let’s hope that it is a bumper breeding season. This is all down to our collective efforts of which each and every one of you play a vital role.
We remain vigilant as always, but for now we can smile with the thought of the first wildcat kittens being born in the wild, where they belong, safe and cosy in their hidden dens.
We will leave you with that thought and we wish you all a very HAPPY EASTER.
There is so much news to update you on in the coming weeks so keep watching.
