[Beavers have built a dam on Exmoor for the first time
in more than 400 years.
The rodents were released into the wild in
Somerset in January this year as part of
a National Trust project to restore streams
and reduce flooding.
Beavers became extinct in the UK in the
16th Century due to hunting, but have
been successfully reintroduced at a
handful of sites in recent years.
The trust said the dam "might look modest,
but it is incredibly special" and had
"created an instant wetland".]
[Wildlife camera footage shows the beavers
gnawing trees and collecting vegetation
to build the dam at the Holnicote Estate near Minehead.]
Well done
