A record number of beavers will be released by the Wildlife Trusts into Britain this year as the industrious mammal is restored to five counties where they have been extinct for hundreds of years.
The popular rodent, whose dams have been shown to boost hundreds of species of insects, amphibians, birds, fish and plants, is returning to Dorset, Derbyshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Nottinghamshire and Montgomeryshire.
Last year the government allowed free-living beavers unofficially let loose into the River Otter in Devon to remain there, but all licensed releases into the wild in England and Wales are into large enclosed areas. There are, however, other unofficial beaver populations living freely on some river systems.
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust column: Idle Valley Nature Reserve, Retford, is perfect spot for seeing wildlife in the winter Published: 07:00, 03 January 2021
The Idle Valley Nature Reserve, just outside Retford, provides a wealth of wildlife opportunities at any time of year but is particularly worth a visit in winter when interest is heightened by the arrival of huge flocks of ducks and other water birds,
writes Erin McDaid, of Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
While birdwatchers visit all year around due to the range of habitats and its sheer scale, it is actually one of the most important areas in the East Midlands for over-wintering wildfowl and well worth a visit during the colder months.
