beavers are about

Here's one of the first trees in Argyll to be munched by a beaver from the recent trial reintroduction in Knapdale. The willow tree was given a going over by the male beaver who has attracted attention in recent days following his departure from the trial area. Scottish Native Woods manage the area of woodland adjacent to the fish farm where the beaver decided to settle.

Latest news is that the organisers of the trial have successfully trapped the animal and it has now been released back into the area where they want him to live.
