Mr Bob,the green tagged male,is now the only ear tagged beaver of the family.This+the unique marks on his tail make him easy to identify.When I 1st saw him 12 yrs ago he was already an adult beaver,so I would think that he is about 14-15 yrs old at least.

Swifts have declined 70% since 1994.
They fly from Africa to breed here, only to find we've blocked their nest sites.
A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings.
The construction industry lobbied Labour to block it.

Anyone who doesn't think Donald Trump is a Dictator needs to look out of their window.
Knocking down the White House. Illegal.
Preparing to invade Venezuela without a single vote. Illegal.
Suspended the Government probably forever. Not illegal but it's what a Dictator would do.
