BCC EP:139 Suffolk born & bred – the people and the panthers

We hear from Paul, a retired woodsman from mid Suffolk. He has had three encounters with large cats, including one watching him through the bracken. He describes his own incidents and others he has heard.  Paul explains his tree management work across the local countryside and considers how big cats would use woods and features of the landscape.     Paul and Rick also discuss actions to get more evidence in Suffolk, including a ‘camera wall’ being set up across a nature reserve on a farm.Words of the week:   non-invasive study28 April 2026
