    They built a dam in exmoor which instantly created a little wetland and kingfishers have now appeared in the area. Beavers have been a successful introduction in the River Tay for a good long while now. Talk of reintroducing bears too and wolves in the Highlands. Interesting times

    They've been up in Kintyre for a while; one of the lochs I fish on - Barnluasgan - is home to a few families. We occasionally see them on the water; lovely things.
