"fingerprints" of the euroasian beaver operating in our vicinity.

oh dear..and i complain about slugs!!!

:-) I am going to upload one pmore photo - of a tree which was "cut down" in 20 minutes.

That's not good Kat.....is anything being done about them?

Everbody is happy about them. They have been exstincted since the beginning of the 20th century. Now they are seen on more and more rivers in Slovakia, spreading up to the northern regions of the country. They are protected by the law.

Golly 20 minutes to fell a tree that's quick work !

That´s right, but you should see it. Like a motor sewing machine...and those orange large teeth, like from a bad fairy tale :-)

Wow, that is impressive. Hope they give a warning for any passersby :)

Unfortunately, not. But usually they do all that work early in the morning. Sometimes we hear sounds of tree falling into the water spreading above the river in morning fogs. During the day they are not active.

wow, it must be incredible to live so close that you can hear the trees coming down!

they're talking about reintroducing beavers to the UK, so we'll be seeing similar sights one day.
