I suggest, perhaps, that we don't all post our early morning beaver pics, or it'll bring the site into disrepute.

Beavers are everywhere on the Earn. And the Tay, the Almond, the Ericht etc etc....

Hmmm.
Coming to a river near you…

The Tay just at the old bridge below Aberfeldy. If visiting I would caution against mentioning the B word!

Reminded me of a tv show some years ago where a couple of women were going to spend some time in the wilderness. Having to forage for food they were asked if they’d be okay and one woman said ‘If we are struggling, I suppose we we can always eat beaver’. Sideways glances were exchanged before the sniggering started.
Took her a long time to live that down.

Sure never worry, if they become a problem a “management cull” under strict licensing controls could be introduced with interested parties undergoing a full day course….
Oh hang on a minute, isn’t that what happened until the “Greens” blocked it?
Silly FB.

They do make a very good goulash, ask my missus.

A new McNab, seatrout, beaver and cormorant?

Is lead free if in water then?

Never be beavers in Cairngorms National Park said the Chairman.

And they are shooting the deer. Oh well

I was ambushed by a big Beaver on the river Tay a couple months ago whilst out night shooting….. scared the life out of me!

Was she drunk? Its dangerous walking along a river intoxicated.
