Glen Tanar Scottish Wildcat

This cat visits ‘The Look Out’ at Glen Tanar estate near Aboyne. I was there primarily to photograph Pine Martens and Badgers but the Wildcat occasionally visits. I have seen it several times and although it’s not a high ranking cat (14 out of 21 on the pelage score) it is probably as pure as you are likely to see. I have been working with Wilcats for several years and only seen two with my own eyes. The video is taken under floodlights and at very high ISO, hence the quality. I include it as it is interesting to see this elusive cat.
