George looks for evidence in southwest England, and with his dad he recently observed a big cat skulk away at dusk as they were watching beavers.Artist Rob Amos describes chatting with visitors at the event while he produced his oil painting of a ‘Gloucestershire black leopard at dusk’ to engage people for the final three days.
