Wild cats
Following a strong tipoff, the Springwatch team hits the jackpot and gets some great shots of a female wild cat hunting in the open fields. They are shy and elusive animals, that will disappear at the hint of a human being nearby, so cameraman Jamie Macpherson needs to keep well hidden. The female begins digging out a nest in the field, probably a field vole nest to get at the young animals inside. As she walks away, back into the forest she appears to be calling, a tantalising glimpse that may mean she has babies hidden nearby.
