A family of hard-working beavers transformed part of an estate just weeks after arriving from Scotland.

The two adults and three young, known as kits, are thought to be the first beavers reintroduced to Suffolk since hunting drove them to extinction 400 years ago.

Since February, they have been busy felling trees and building dams at Little Haugh Hall at Norton, near Bury St Edmunds.

The Suffolk Wildlife Trust said it hoped the family’s impressive work schedule would trigger an “explosion of biodiversity”.
