A new arrival is the population of wild-living Beavers on the River Otter in east Devon, discovered – or officially recognised – in 2014, now part of a Devon Wildlife Trust project as part of a licensed trial. They are breeding and there are 4-5 family groups, around Otterton, Tipton St John, to just north of Honiton and into the Blackdown Hills AONB.
