I have a couple of days to myself at Lake Kerkini in Greece in between meeting guests for a landscape photography workshop in the west of the country so I thought I would try to find and photograph a wildcat, felis silvestris.
These beautiful felines are largely on the decline throughout Europe but thankfully here at the lake they seem to have established a strong foothold.
Incredible hunters they prey on small rodents, birds and even the occasional fish. They are superbly adapted to their environment blending in perfectly with their surrounds and being mostly nocturnal are quite elusive and difficult to see during the day, let alone photograph.
I was lucky enough on this day to not only spot one but to spend a good 20 minutes in her company as she stalked through fields and even stopped to groom herself not 70m away from me.
Hope you enjoy watching..!
Best wishes and see you next time..!
