A giant black bird of prey big enough and powerful enough to fly off with a ‘large rabbit’ has been spotted circling the skies above Blacker Hill.
One family was frightened enough to bring their new puppy back inside for fear of it being swept away by ‘the beast’.
“I’ve never seen anything as big in the wild,” said John Higginbottom, of Worsbrough Road, Blacker Hill, who says he has seen the bird twice for certain, and thinks he has seen the same bird on several other occasions.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
