Hunt for big cat after second sighting in Flintshire
A PROWLING predator has been spotted in Flintshire for the second time in as many weeks.
Robert Kardzis, of Holywell, Flintshire, said he spotted the mysterious creature, which looked like a big cat, while out birdwatching in Halkyn with his four-year-old son.
He said: “I take my son birdspotting near Halkyn quarry regularly and on Sunday we spotted what we initially thought was a black sheep or large hare, walking around the edge of the top of the quarry.
“We thought nothing of it and climbed up to a high point towards the top of the quarry.
“We sat down to look for birds of prey through our binoculars and spotted the animal further round the quarry.
“From the binoculars, we could see that it wasn’t a sheep, hare, dog or badger, but some type of large cat. It looked like it was trying to catch birds that were nesting on the cliff tops.”
Mr Kardzis, 34, is the second Flintshire resident to report a sighting of a large feline creature.
As the Evening Leader reported last week, Stedman Woolnough and his wife Eleanor-May, of Penyffordd, got a shock when they spotted what looked like a black puma outside their house on Hawarden Road.
Eleanor-May, 67, said the creature was the size of a large dog and was wandering in and out of the hedges near the road, before it disappeared into a field.
Mr Kardzis, who works at moneysupermarket.com in Ewloe, added: “I couldn’t get close enough to work out exactly what it was, but it did not seem like it was meant to be there.
“I have certainly never seen anything like it before – not outside a zoo anyway.”
A North Wales Police spokesman said the force had not received any reports of big cat sightings.

Over the years I have been asked repeatedly about what prompted me to get involved with a subject like the paranormal and also why did I start writing books about it; fortunately the answer is reasonably straightforward. It ties into a lifetime’s fascination with all things paranormal and supernatural, and from my perspective the words are entirely synonymous.
