Captive-bred Wildcats die after release

Two captive-bred Wildcats have died after being released into the Cairngorms NP.

The Saving Wildcats project said one of the females, called Midge, was knocked down on a road. It said the second, named Oats, died of starvation four weeks after her release.

The cats could be tracked by their GPS radio collars and were found by park rangers.
