A wonderful encounter and, rare, privilege to spend time in the company of such a creature. |

Still beavering away
Another session out on the marsh was to prove to be one of very mixed fortunes. I was privileged to spend a prolonged period, in very dodgy light, watching a European Beaver going about its' business but, on the down side, lost what could have been a very good fish when a "Kwik-linq" let me down. Lesson immediately learnt and remedial actions put in place - it will never happen again as the remainder have been binned! I was only using them because of an idea, I gleaned, from a Korda video. I'm as much at fault, as the product, I was using it in a manner that it wasn't designed for.

ReplyDeleteMark - I was chuffed when I first saw it, last week, although I didn't quite believe it was happening as it swam through my swim. Yesterday, I saw it coming and was able to grab my camera without it spotting me. It was swimming around for about five minutes before it headed off back to where it came from? The one thing that struck me is how big they are - I'd never given it much thought but in my mind I had an impression of a large cat? This creature must be getting on for four feet - it's a very impressive animal.
