Beavers in Canterbury

                                         

Adult Beaver.

I first heard about the Beaver family in Canterbury a few weeks ago and got some directions from Julian where to look for them(thanks Julian).

On my  first visit  i saw a Kit firstly by the lodge they had made, later in the evening an adult Beaver put in an appearance.

I was really surprised how big the adult was, about 3ft from nose to tail and quite broad bodied.

There are 2 adults & 3 Kits in this Beaver family and can be located just along the Great Stour from Sainsbury's in Canterbury.

I met up with some friends on my last visit and they had already seen a Kit before i had arrived and we all enjoyed prolonged views of an Adult Beaver swimming along the river before climbing up & down the river bank.

Lucas managed a video which he has kindly let me use on my blog (thankyou Lucas).
