About this listen

John explores the wild forests and farmland of his local Scottish borders area.

It’s a sparsely populated region where black panthers and lynx are quietly discussed by some of the locals. John takes us through various lynx encounters, including two of his own, and describes his three experiences with large black cats – one seen nearby from a slow moving train, and one unnervingly close at night.

John starts the episode by explaining how his military background helps his observation and tracking skills. He also discusses lynx reintroduction proposals which have been considered for his part of Britain.

John is a musician and with his wife & friends created his own outro track for this edition… Eyes Burning Bright.
