Why can't anyone take a decent photo in these cases?

If you're close enough to a lion to take a decent photo you shouldn't be taking a photo, you should be running.

The last thing you should be doing is running unless your with someone else then all you need to do is run faster than them

Sudbury is Suffolk but is is near the border.

Essex is very picturesque from the air. Did my hot air balloon trip over that way.

Apparently our Scottish cousins are looking to carry out DNA tests where possible in such cases, to determine what's just a feral domestic cat or an actual wildcat/escaped weapon...
