Wildcats on the loose

Post by toom317 » Thu Feb 12, 2015 8:00 pm

Went down to Otterburn last sunday on the off chance of getting a Wildcat, and ended up with 4 of them. Sunny all day and the best day out there for a long time.

Nice shots :)

The 4 of them had a fuel stop at Coningsby on Thursday, but the weather was murky and rather rubbish, looks you caught them in lovely light :)
