THERE have been numerous sightings of big cats in Wiltshire but now it seems ostriches could also be on the loose.
Police were called to the A36 near Knook on Saturday afternoon following reports of a ostrich in a nearby field.
Officers attended the scene but it later turned out to be a post behind a sheep, which appeared to the caller to have looked like an ostrich.
PC Helen Bevan, of Warminster Police, said: "While I have seen chickens at the road side I have never yet seen an ostrich, however we have to take all reports seriously."
