Aigas Beavers over the winter
Posted by Alicia - 16:13 on 09 February 2012
On a walk around the loch the other day I’ve noticed that the beave
rs have been pretty active this winter. It helps that we have had a very mild winter and so the beavers have been able to take advantage of this. Usually the loch freezes for 3 or 4 months over winter and the beavers have to rely on their food caches which they would have prepared in the autumn. This winter they have been busy felling some trees whilst they have only tasted others (see photo).
I also saw a very nice flock of Long-tailed Tits feeding on the birch trees around the loch and I even flushed out a Wood Cock on my walk.
