What did we see last night..?

We had been away for a few nights and travelled back quite late. Towards the end of our journey, this was about 2am, we were driving along an A road in a rural area when something crossed the road in front of us in full headlights for about 3 seconds. It was about the height of a person, maybe 6 feet or over, but had short powerful legs and hips which seemed to move in a circular fluid fashion. It was not a deer because it stood on two legs. This was in the midlands and the area is traditional rolling fields and woodland. In this particular spot there are no houses or buildings, nearest is over a mile away. We drove back today as its only 7 miles from home to look at the road layout and whatever it was moved into a wide bowl shaped field dropping down to a stream. Any ideas?

Were there DC in the back of the car reading 'Where's Wallaby'? Happy to be corrected but I think there is still a reproducing Wallaby population in the Midlands that is non-white (don't tell Priti though as they came from Australia they might be OK or perhaps covered by the new trade deal) and with enough members not to have been given individual names by the press though I expect they have names they use for each other.

I wish I had not read this thread before going to bed. Ugh.

sofakingcool · 20/02/2022 22:12

But I really wish it was something more exciting

She would have caught her death dressed like that!
GallopingHighRoad · 20/02/2022 22:15

Grin Kangaroos can be up to 8 ft tall by the way.

Wonder if the wind noise due to the storm was so loud that they couldn't hear the shout 'car' - www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/366902700878195128/

Really shouldn’t have clicked this in bed on a stormy night

WeirdlyKind · 20/02/2022 22:27

I saw a big cat a few years ago, but no one ever believes me so I feel for you! Didn't get a pic (cause honestly the damn thing was looking at me from about 30ft away and I was scared to move!)

Moonflower12 · 20/02/2022 22:30

Placemarking to read in the morning. We're in Warwickshire near the Northamptonshire border and I have to let the dog out in a bit...

GallopingHighRoad · 20/02/2022 22:33

I can’t workout how to upload a pic. Drawing rather. Will do it tomorrow when I get a moment.
By the way, our hosts this evening also know the area and have a different story to tell. It’s close to you @Laiste

Click on the paperclip underneath the message box to attach a picture.

GallopingHighRoad · 20/02/2022 22:37

Oh, thank you. No paper clip showing though. Is it because I’ve rejoined recently? Forgot old email so had to rejoin on alternate one.

Sorry on the app or website?

Crunchymum · 20/02/2022 22:48

What did your hosts tonight have to say? Am not local but I am thoroughly overinvested (and totally creeped out!!)

ViceLikeBlip · 20/02/2022 22:49

An escaped Rhea (a bit like an ostrich) or an alpaca (I can't really picture your description!)

Or maybe just a yeti?
