I'd love to know where those two lynx were obtained to release. Surely all lynx in the country are accounted for, so they must have been smuggled in somehow? Can't be easy to smuggle in two lynx!

Video here; they seem very tame. Suspect someone who had them as exotic pets has released them when they got too big, rather than it being an deliberate attempt at reintroduction.

I wonder if they were released at the same time or if it's a copy cat...

Three herons spread out along the canal between town and Heriot-Watt this morning, continuning a similar pattern that had been established towards the end of last year. Unusually, I also saw three herons in flight as I was driving up from Preston to Edinburgh on Sunday, two of which swooped so low over the northbound lane of the fairly quiet motorway that I was mildly concerned about hitting them but fortunately didn't. The other was at Lamancha.

As I was cycling home along the canal towapth in the dark last night I heard something making a lot of noise progressing along the far side of the canal heading out of town around Kingsknowe. I did stop and tried to illumintate it with my front light, but I failed to spot anything obvious. It sounded like it was moving fast, breaking the ice as it went, so was presumably in and out of the water, and hence difficult to keep track of. I'm going to optimistically guess that it was an otter... The Kingsknowe Rat should clearly not be ruled out, but despite its prodigious size I'm not sure that it would've been able to make that much noise!

@jdanielp interesting
As I was cycling along the canal towpath Monday morning I heard a racket but it was one I recognised and I remarked to Pietro who had just overtaken me [maybe on an electric bike but maybe not as I am still weakened from lurgy] ah here comes a guy or gal with studded tyres. Turned out it was @Dave on his nice fixie/single speed.
We chatted as human beings so not wildlife thread. But @Dave had a call to host so I was toast
