Puma concolor in the UK by J A J Richardson

A few notes on Puma / Cougar / Mountain Lions ...  Photo : Glatzer 2006 FIRST SIGHTING :  One late evening three friends and myself were travelling back from Tilton on the Hill towards Oadby, in Leicestershire. Upon approaching a main road junction we spotted a very large animal in a field beside the lane. As the car stopped in a gateway, I was able to shine a torch directly onto the fawn/grey coat of the creature revealing its outline - which crouched down lower and remained completely motionless. After instructing the Driver to quickly drive the car round the corner to the next open gateway, we watched in amazement as the Cougar jumped up and bounded off into the darkness of the field.  Having since owned a 46kg Bullmastiff , I would estimate this Mountain Lion, holding similar proportions, although being longer, taller and more agile, must have weighed in the region of 60kg. In the weeks following I was able to track the prints of a Puma  from Houghton on the Hill...

Preface : The Oadby Poacher by J A J Richardson

The Oadby Poacher by J A J Richardson  Preface :  Due to the legal status of Poaching several of the names in this book have been altered, abstracted from the text, or simply changed. Likewise the exact location of certain fauna and flora within Oadby shall not be mentioned here. The purpose of this book is NOT to promote armed trespass and/or the pursuit of game. Rather the aim of this book is to capture a time and a place ; and the life-style of a Poacher in Oadby during the end of the 20th Century.  Oadby holds a long history of Poachers over its soil. There has been a local Poacher in Oadby since Victorian times, if not before. The most famous of which was James Hawker. The exploits of which are chronicled in his own journal; later edited by Garth Christian, illustrated by Lynton Lamb and published by Oxford University Press in 1961. Printed with the most elegant yet simple title : 'A Victorian Poacher : James Hawker's Journal'   In continuum, this work aims...

Preface : A History of Gypsy-Travellers in Aylestone by J A J Richardson

    A HISTORY OF GYPSY-TRAVELLERS in AYLESTONE by J A J Richardson    Preface: The Aylestone Meadows holds a rich tapestry of Gypsy-Traveller culture dug and sown into its general landscape. In praxis, industrial evidence remains in the foundations of the Grand Union Canal and later construction of the Great Central Way (both built by a Gypsy-Traveller workforce). Until more recently Gypsy-Traveller Horses were always a feature of the local landscape. In the flora of which the echoes of the past remain within the hedgerows themselves; as the Hops, Burdock and Horse Radish which still frequent the area today.   Before continuing, it is important to note, that I do not think its for a Gorger / Country Person or Sedentary Dweller to question the authenticity of a "Gypsy" or “Traveller”.  Only a true Gypsy-Traveller can judge this. There are as many and more tribes / clans / traditions / nations within "Gypsy Culture" than th...
