We have these ditch rats here in Germany !!!! have seen them dam a ditch and flood 97 ha in two days !!!!!!

And we Can't even look at them through enviro protection laws

I reckon they are the last thing you need in the south west .

We had beaver problems in upstate NY, dammed the river below a dairy I was working on which flooded the road---sheriff would dynamite it every year but they always returned

It was quite a spectacle, everyone turned up to watch the explosion

So the wildlife bods aren't happy with Sea Eagle's and beavers - they're not dangerous enough - oh no , they want much , much more dangerous animals roaming round Scotland coming in to regular contact with humans , because it's a very different country to when they were here last centuries ago. Wolves , bears and lynx aren't going to be left alone for very long.

The scientists say they'll live off the wildlife. Why would you , when there's loads of easily caught slow sheep to dine on?

Viva the beaver as far as I'm concerned, welcome back

No risk of having them introduced in the vicinity of N Herts then?

Yes had them here 4-5 years now.
Felled all the small trees and now onto bigger stuff, 18" diameter plus.

River floods pretty regularly in winter so soon washes away any dam building. Worse is the lodges they build in the banks. Can collapse from above and that part of the banking far more likely to get washed away when river is in spate.

Lots of felling here as well, just looks like cartoon beaver damage! Just like the end of a pencil.
