Expand Just seen three small beaver lodges on a walk earlier,and a few muskrat swimming. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Expand The Forest of Dean has a few about, I,m sure there are others on here that remember them being walked about on leads at every country show you went to years ago, I think it was a change in law again that saw them being released, something to do with the scent glands being removed I think and no one wanted them after that which was when they started popping up in the wild 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
