Shortly after moving to this rural idyl in1972, we were driving along a back road, when as we rounded a bend a large beaver-like creature came waddling across in front of us. I braked and swerved around it. There then followed a lengthy discussion between us as to what it was. We sort of thought it was a Coypu, but never having seen one, and the fact that they had supposedly been eradicated in the UK some years earlier, we did wonder. They are now eradicated being a none endemic species for the UK that was causing damage (supposedly) It is at least commemorated in the fact we named that bend in the road …Coypu Corner…. from then on. Roll forward 40+years and while caravanning in France we saw several Coypu in the open field next to our campsite. They emerged from a small stream/ waterway area each morning …..where the above ‘portrait’ was taken. Last edited on Wed Jan 24th, 2024 11:30 by ____________________ Eric |
