THE article about The skunk, pictured, in the Daily Echo prompted me to write and say my husband came in about 1am Sunday January 4 after putting his car away and said he had just seen a skunk zigzagging along our road (Cranbury Road Sholing).

I knew he was sober but still felt it was a another animal he had seen he was adamant though,but when we went back out to look it had gone. I took some convincing and friends I told did as well, and even then you wonder if they really believe you, but thanks to your article they now know he had seen a skunk.
