The below map is a general one and without the guide to what each colour signifies (species) it will not be of much help other than to show that there are cluster areas which may indicate that what we thought about non native cats in the UK is wrong. Species are being misidentified on a regular basis.
As noted previously, this needs much more field work and preparation before that (once the current lockdown is out of the way trail cams etc need to be positioned) which has hit a concrete wall due to no funding.
Other maps show much clearer data and added to photographic and video evidence the EAR has the results would completely re-write the book on UK "non native" cats....or woulddo.
