New study shows spread of domestic cats from North Africa to Europe much later than previously thought - occurred around 2000 years ago. Also evidence of an earlier "dispersal" of domestic cats from Africa to Sardinia. (Paywall.)

I stumbled across 2 historic #Suffolk reports in an early noughties @forteantimes "big cat roundup" - near Hadleigh, , "big cat", 15 Feb 2000; Leavenheath, (Essex border), "sandy coloured" . 15 reports to British Big Cats Society in 2001 from Suffolk. https://t.co/nJYXW99NoL

I missed this owl sanctuary story from #Suffolk from 2020. It came to my attention during a recent "Fort Sort" of clippings for @forteantimes. Owl found in ditch wasn't injured after all - it had just eaten so many voles it was too heavy to fly. @AccidentalP
