Puma

SIGHTING: Two reports on same day of a black big cat in Colwyn Bay

The two sightings happened in the Llysfaen and Bryn Cadno (Colwyn Heights) areas of Colwyn Bay on Monday 23rd May.

A man and his 9 year old son were forced to abandon his barbeque on the beach when they spotted a puma approaching.

Three friends night fishing at Pwllheli’s Gimblet Rock have reported coming face-to-face with a tawny-coloured puma.

Since we shared a report of a sighting in Colwyn Heights, two more have been reported in the area as people realise they can tell us!

Andrea told Puma Watch: “Both me and my husband saw it. It had a big black tail and moved across the road like a cat.”

The witness took a photo of the print and told us “I have since kept an eye out, my dogs, spaniels, go mad whenever on that track.”

“I strongly suspect that these were released into the wild as they had no paperwork and no funding. They weren’t there 6 months later.”

“As we were walking back down the hill, I could see this large, black animal prowling along the hedge line at the bottom of the hill.”

Phil told us: “I suspect it was interested in the sheep. It had a long black tail. Definitely bigger than a normal cat.”

We’ve been told about sightings near Spital, Neston and Upton, along with another in Heswall.
