Mrs Bob+her legacy,# 4
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.

A £35 swift brick nest box was proposed for all new buildings.

Suspended the Government probably forever. Not illegal but it's what a Dictator would do.
