Wild Beaver Walk

Also on Friday evening I went Beaver watching not a million miles from here. There have been wild beavers in Perthshire for over 10 years and have only recently had more attention focused on them because of a proposed cull.  There are people for and against them and everyone is entitled to their opinion.  Click here for more information about the Scottish Wild Beavers.  We only got a fleeting glimpse of a beaver, wind in wrong direction, quite a few people about etc didn't really enhance our chances.  If you want to spot a beaver it is really a case of sitting patiently and waiting.

I had no idea there were beavers in Scotland! I have learned something new today. I had always thought beavers were a North American only animal.

If you ever return to our area I shall take you to see where they live.
