That's absolutely brilliant, regards Bri 😀She surprised me when I was watching birds.
Yes. If it could do what Iberian lynx did and become (relatively) easily twitchable that would be much appreciated.Completely stunning. If only such sightings were reproducible....

Correct. Lynx population is high and still increasing in Estonia and certainly offers the best possibility in Europe.Multi night trips in Estonia have very high success rates I believe

Yes and I may consider an organised trip as an option in the future - I have done organised trips for jaguar and fishing cat in the past and have one planned in the future - but only when I have determined there is not realistic chance of doing it independently. I presume there are habitat/behaviour differences that mean Eurasian is so hard and Iberian a lot easier. Or possibly population densities.Multi night trips in Estonia have very high success rates I believe

****! I had a pangolin walk in a restaurant once. That is up there with that.600-800 Lynx in Estonia these days, number correspondingly also increasing in neighbouring Latvia and here in Lithuania.
This individual was seen in various places in Tallin city centre last year, here resting on a restaurant terrace:

Shouldn't that be a joke somewhere along those lines??? A pangolin walked into a restaurant once ... applying for a job as a waiter. It didn't get it. The scales weren't tipped in its favour.****! I had a pangolin walk in a restaurant once. That is up there with that.
Yes that did occur to me. What actually happened was slightly drunk wildlife watcher fell in a drain taking photos.Shouldn't that be a joke somewhere along those lines???

Independent is possible, but chances are much lower as it requires a lot of on the ground knowledge and, as far as I know, the guides mentioned above have a lot of trail cams monitoring their movements in real time, so can direct their night searches accordingly.I have done organised trips for jaguar and fishing cat in the past and have one planned in the future - but only when I have determined there is not realistic chance of doing it independently.
