Intro
Hi! Welcome to my website - My Big Cat Sightings! I decided to create this site after I had seen black panthers in the wild in Somerset, England, no less than 3 times! The first time I saw one I was terrified, the second time I was surprised and the third time, when I saw a black panther and a puma, together, I was amazed! On none of these occasions did I go out looking for a big cat, if I had done I would have taken my camera!
At the first sighting I was with a friend on Croydon Hill on the Brendon Hills, who saw the black panther too because we were actually stalked by it! I was driving along the main A358 near Bishops Lydeard when I saw a black panther for the second time and on the third occasion I was walking in a field below North Petherton with my dog but unfortunately he could not speak English, although he knew how to bark at them! I can testify, however, that big cats are definitely on the loose in South West England and I know, from many other sightings, that they are across Great Britain as a whole too! I hope you enjoy reading the accounts of my sightings of big cats in the wild!

My name is Alex Bowler and I now live in Devon with my wife Jill. I was born in Matlock Derbyshire in 1961 and moved to Somerset with my family at the age of three. My father was an English teacher and the deputy-headmaster of a secondary school in Taunton and my mother was a primary school teacher. I was educated at Wellington School and later did my A-levels at the Somerset College of Arts and Technology. After finishing my education I pursued a career as a musician and played bass guitar in various rock bands, including McKenna's Gold, the band led by the legendary rock-star drummer Ted McKenna. In 1989 I became a Christian during the Billy Graham LIFE mission in London. I am now an evangelist, as well as a big cat investigator, and undertake gospel missions, especially in Africa, where big cats also live! I have visited many woods in Devon and Somerset and other counties too, looking for signs of big cats, and have found many field signs and have amazing footage of big cats too! It really is a very interesting thing indeed to be a big cat investigator! I hope you enjoy looking at the site! Let me know if YOU see a big cat in the wild in the British countryside!
