There are European Beavers which became extinct about 1,000 years ago, and which have been introduced with the help of Wildwood, near Canterbury. The intention was to use them to manage the only piece of fenland in Kent, which they do by keeping the waterways clear, coppicing trees and controlling vegetation. And they do it for free, too, like good volunteers.

One of the lodges is near the path, and could be seen rather better than the photo might suggest. It's about four feet above the level of the bank.

No, I'm not going to even attempt to test the 'software being set to delete any inappropriate comments'. But could you count it on a pan-species list Steve?
