Experts hail success for England’s only wild beavers

No, not mad women, the furry animals.

I like stories like this. It says they are reducing floods risk and creating new wildlife areas. Nature can look after itself when we don't interfere too much.

I see the farmers aren't so keen but that's nothing new.

Looks cute, I know they have been trying for years to get these things to come back in to our environment , maybe the damming will help with all the floods that we get?

..........but does that mean that the farmers are racist?

They planted a load of beavers somewhere secret in Scotland a few years ago. They apparently are doing well but other landowners bleating about the damage they cause.
If you want to live in a wilderness you must live with a wilderness.

I think Scotland should be a special case; give em wolves, mountain lions, the lot. We could rebuild Hadrian's Wall so they don't become a nuisance in England

I've said it before - a wall just north of Teesside.

Always good to read about the success of re-introductions. I just hope that it doesn't become a hunters trophy to bag one.
Similar successes include the red kites in the North East - they've done very well.

I love birds of prey, and Red Kites have certainly been a success story since the efforts to restore populations, but I do wonder if there comes a point where it gets too successful. Riding around Oxfordshire, not all that far from another place with a breeding centre, I've had a close call with a pair that were reluctant to give up a roadkill when I came belting around the corner It was a rare day when I didn't see them when I lived down there.
