Why not Bears, Wolves or anything else that some crackpot tree hugger can think of, next thing you know it will be the Burbot
They were introduced a few years ago to some wetlands in far away Kent as a project.
From the pictures shown they really do not add anything to the ambiance of the bank side,,felled trees,branches,debris.
It was said they only build dams if water levels drop and that they do benefit a few other mammals with the enviroment they create.
EA clear the rivers to help flood prevention and Billy beaver blocks it up again.
That is a bit harsh perhaps but from what little I know I hope they dont spread too much.
Wonder if any peeps that know about beavers looking in could enlighten me/us.
Don't think tree huggers and beavers would get on too well Burbot still exist , if you know where to look .....
Very rare now Garry, seems like the Otter has put the last few remaining to seek sanctuary in the River Pinn, Hugo can tell more, but will probably not, but I do know they are very difficult to spot let alone catch.Is there still burbot in UK?
