Is it a Panther among the Stones by ladymagpie

Is it a Panther among the Stones

Yesterday walk took me South West of the village passed a local farm, future photographs to come. On the way back through the farmyard I spotted a creature hiding among these stones near the farmhouse.

It was well hidden but kept it's eye on me, if it wasn't in the UK I might have thought it was a black panther so I captured this image so that I could look it up in my animal CAT-alogue back home.

I was really worried it might leap out on me causing a real CAT-tastrophy in the farmyard. My luck was in as I wasn't looking tasty as a little mouse and it left me alone. It hid in the long grass like a CAT-apiller creeping along the ground, and although I did try to keep quiet, I kept coughing due to bad CAT-arrah

Finally it ran away at speed, just like a CAT-apult firing at someone, I was safe at last. I hope I haven't given you any clues, but can you see it and what do you think it was.

Keep smiling.
nice

@happypat They are known as Straddle Stones and were used as supporting barns, granaries and hayricks off the ground.

Your tail is purr fectly composed. I’m feline like you narrowly escaped a cat tastrophy. Very cool stones.

You certainly catalyzed a lot of comments.

LOL - what fun (it took me a moment to find the dangerous predator) A hilarious narrative - of course, a fav for me.

Took me a minute to see him! These stones are they ancient Druid monoliths ala Stonehenge? They’re quite intriguing
